Anastasia Evsigneeva is a contemporary dancer, contortionist, circus performer, and graduate (2019) of the Professional Program of the School of Contemporary Dancers, with a BA Honours in Dance. She was born in Rostov-on-Don, Russia. Anastasia is from a very artistic family. Her mother is a former dancer and choreographer, and her father was a mime with the circus when he was younger. Anastasia is a combination of dance and circus with her own vision of contemporary art. Starting to dance early on in her childhood, she became a soloist in a Modern Dance Theatre “Camertone” in her home city. To enrich her dancing, she decided to learn some “cool tricks” without plans of pursuing a circus career. She visited a circus studio called “Search”, and fell in love with the circus art form. Since then, circus has become her second passion in life. Her dance training is enhanced by the intense contortion, hand balancing, aerial hoop and partner acrobatics training, helping her broaden the opportunities in her artistic career.
 
After moving to Canada, Anastasia has successfully established professional connections in Winnipeg. Throughout her post-secondary program, she has had the chance to work with different choreographers from across the country, among those are: Jennifer Mascall, Davida Monk, Marc Boivin and others. In February 2019 during the last year in the program, Anastasia was commissioned as a dancer to perform original work by Paula Blair 11 DAYS…24.75 hrs. In June 2019, Anastasia had a chance to perform with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra with Odette Heyn projects. In July 2019, she took part in a choreographic process with Roberto Mosqueda and Ilse Torres, performing in Leon and Guanojuato in Mexico. Among other recent shows, Anastasia took part in the Emerging Artist Initiative with Winnipeg Contemporary Dancers, choreographed by Jolene Bailie. Since 2015, Anastasia has continued her training in contortion and hand balancing under the guidance of Samantha Halas, Anna Ivaseva, Kimberley Craig and Liz Cooper.
Recently, Anastasia has started experimenting as a pole artist. She enjoys combining different forms and genres of art. Grotesque, avant-garde, and going to extremes, is something she likes to explore in her work. In August 2019 Anastasia came to Regina to start learning a silk dance technique under Robin Poitras’ guidance. Working with Robin has brought inspiration to her dancing. After returning from the project she started to create and choreograph a duet titled TANGLED in collaboration with Anna Protsiou. The work on the duet has developed into the idea of creating a short dance film in Summer/Fall 2020. Anastasia continues to explore her creation processes under the direction of Robin Poitras. In July 2020, Anastasia travelled to Regina, SK with Anna Protsiou to remount TANGLED, and start a new creation. The two-week period in July is just the beginning of Anastasia’s year-long artistic residency at New Dance Horizons.
