Anja Müller is a choreographer, performer, dancer and drummer and lives in Berlin. After her education in Contemporary Dance in Berlin, she did her Master in Choreography and New Media at the Amsterdam School of the Arts. Anja created a great number of works as a single choreographer and in collaboration with other artists.
In her work, she is interested in investigating entanglements and co-existence of dance, voice, identities and rhythms. In this sense she created her last two solo works Three Cheers To Existence and LA MULA, poetic journeys through live-soundscapes and transformative characters. Since 2020 she is investigating in Future Voices, an ongoing research about marginalized voices of other species and composition of interspecies choirs co-created with nature.
In collaboration with the philosopher and performer Dennis Deter she is searching for an artistic exchange with plants, human and non-human animals. As a dancer and performer, Anja has worked with and for various artists such as Alma Söderberg, Kate Macintosh, Meg Stuart, Jared Gradinger, cena11, dumb type and Hermann Heisig. In 2024 she worked together with Hermann Heisig, Elpida Orfanidou and Thomas Proksch on a 3-hour-long poetic vocal performance trip, Late Night DaDa, in which they travel together with the audience through absurd and transforming situations and landscapes.
Anja has many regular and longstanding collaborations and artistic kinship, like for example with the collective Deter/Müller/Martini and John The Houseband, a nomadic performative music band exploring themes of friendship and amateurism. With Alma Anja is entangled for years weaving sounds, choreography and friendship. She performed in her trio Entangled Phrases and Sound A Rose In. Anja is a drummer in the psychedelic noise-pop quartet Kala Brisella and has been working with Jared Gradinger on approaches and musical improvisations with plants.
