Nudity
Anh Vo is a Vietnamese dancer and writer based in Brooklyn. They create dances and texts about pornography and queer relations, about being and form, about identity and abstraction, about history and its colonial reality. Described by the New York Times as "risky, erotic, enigmatic and boldly humorous," their work animates the life of a Vietnamese desiring America, of a colonized being desiring its colonizer. Vo receives their degrees in Performance Studies from Brown University (BA) and New York University (MA). Vo is currently a 2023-2025 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow.
