Anna Protsiou is a dancer and circus artist who is currently residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She immigrated to Canada from Thessaloniki, Greece in 2014. Anna graduated with a Bachelor Honors Degree in Contemporary Dance from the School of Contemporary Dancers’ Professional Program, an affiliated program with the University of Winnipeg. Anna started dance at age of seven training in ballet, but her love for contemporary dance took over when she became a teenager. Since then, she has participated in many workshops and intensives, and has performed in multiple shows. Some of her recent performances include works by: Odette Heyn and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Stephanie Ballard and the Winnipeg Preservation Initiative, Winnipeg's Contemporary Dancers and Peter Quanz. She has also worked with out of province choreographers such as Harold Rhéaume and Le fils d'Adrien danse in Quebec City, and in Toronto for the New Blue Dance Festival. In the summer 2019 she participated in Creando Lazos a Traves De La Danza with Ilse Torres and Roberto Mosqueda in Mexico.


Circus has always been a fascinating genre for Anna. She began her circus journey by training in contortion and hand balancing with her coach Samantha Halas. Anna was fortunate to have such amazing guidance and support that allowed her to develop contortion and hand balancing skills. She recently started practicing and performing aerial hoop under the guidance of Liz Cooper and Kimberly Craig, as well as pole. Some highlights of her performances as a circus artist include Heartache Hotel with Frostbite Circus, Stage Frights with One Trunk Theatre, Legends of Horrors with Hit and Run Dance Productions in Toronto, as well as multiple public and private events.
Anna finds the limitless possibilities of a moving human body powerful and mesmerizing. She enjoys improving her skills and spends most of her days training. She would love to pursue a more multidisciplinary career gearing towards dance and circus arts. Anna has a deep connection with dance, and loves to portray feelings and emotions that cannot be expressed through words. In addition to performing, she loves teaching dance, contortion, acro and flexibility for kids, adolescents and adults. Anna is extremely inspired by the idea of merging different art forms, dance, circus and photography and discovering new possibilities for creation and collaboration.


Anna is currently working on a new creation, TANGLED, with Anastasia Evsigneeva, with whom she has created an exceptional partnership with. She is extremely excited to work on the remount of TANGLED as well a new creation under the direction of Robin Poitras starting summer 2020. Anna looks forward to this special opportunity of being in artistic residency and a part of New Dance Horizons’ 2020-2021 season.
The first production by Moving Roots (MR) performance arts company with an eponymous name Moving Roots: Reflections. This multidisciplinary contemporary arts debut show combines contemporary dance, circus, film, and poetry while premiering six works by Anastasia Evsigneeva, Anna Protsiou, Robin Poitras, and Edward Poitras. MR: Reflections is a collaborative process of developing lights, projections, and music with guest artists that creates the magic to the event and makes it unforgettable. In the creation process artists were inspired by mythology, rituals and traditions of different cultures, ideas from psychology and philosophy, personal experiences, nature of the human psyche, emotions, feelings, and their manifestation in the body. The show features live music by Rayannah, and music by Chiyoko Szlavnics.
We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts. canadacouncil.ca Special thank you to Théâtre Cercle Molière for hosting the show and making arrangements for the show preparation. Special thank you to Allison Loat and to The University of Winnipeg Department of Theatre and Film.
