ANNA MANSBRIDGE (Seattle)

Anna Mansbridge, Artistic Director of Seattle Early Dance, is from the U.K., where she studied early dance for many years with teachers foremost in the profession. She holds a First Class Honors Degree in Dance and Education from Bedford College, U.K., and an M.F.A in Choreography and Performance from Mills College, C.A. She has been teaching and performing early European Court dance (16th-18th centuries) since 1990. In 1995 she co-founded Footwork OffLimits, a company committed to presenting early dance to audiences in ways both entertaining and informative. Ms Mansbridge has been on the faculty of numerous early music courses, including the Ringve International Summer School in Trondheim, Norway, Aestas Musica in Varazdin, Croatia, and the Dancing Master presented by The Early Music Guild, Seattle. She

immigrated to Seattle in 1998, and in 2000 she founded Seattle Early Dance, which has quickly established itself as the Northwest's premier early dance company, and has been the recipient of a number of grants. Recent performance credits as solo performer and choreographer include Monteverdi's Il Ballo delle Ingrate, John Blow's Venus and Adonis and other projects with the Seattle Early Music Guild, and performances with the Seattle Symphony and the Bellevue Philharmonic.
