Anna Brown

Anna is a Chicago-based performance artist and poet with an extensive background in collaborative work. Her early experience was as one third of the cabaret art trio Somebody's Daughters. Later she contributed to the TranceSisters Collective and the Chicago Poetry Ensemble.

Anna’s solo body of work is made up of three series, all containing the element of persona performance: stage or theatrical-style shows, durational installations in which she interacts with viewers one-on-one, and her current project, a series of site-specific works in nature. 

Anna holds an MFA in performance and an MA in art history, theory, and criticism from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as an EdD in education. She has an extensive professional background in advising, teaching, and coaching.
