PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ANNE is a 14-member dance troupe that will tour 6 American cities, and reach thousands of audience members with our message of human tolerance and anti-hate. The troupe presents a multimedia performance/lecture series about the Holocaust consisting of:
• A 45 minute dance work based on the story of Anne Frank as interpreted by choreographer Mauricio Wainrot • An oral, theatrical presentation about anti-hate and human tolerance • An in-lobby exhibition of related Holocaust educational materials
MISSION
The mission of ANNE is to present an unmatched dance and theatrical performance experience through acclaimed choreographer Mauricio Wainrot’s moving contemporary ballet Anne Frank, impacting and informing the lives of countless people through performances featuring the greatest dance artists from across America and around the world. With its message of tolerance, anti-hate, and Holocaust education, The Project is both an artistic as well as humanitarian endeavor.
Spearheaded by an internationally renowned creative and administrative team, The Project is also a dynamic tool to encourage the widest possible audience for dance. As an artistic, educational and philanthropic model for communities across the country, ANNE will travel nationwide in a yearlong dance/lecture series challenging audiences to experience dance in a completely different way.
