Anna Bauer

Anna Bauer and Jairus Carr are dancers and choreographers living in Austin, Texas. They dance for the KDH Dance Company while producing their own work. Anna and Jairus began collaborating in 2022. Their pieces have performed at events across Texas: Texas Dance Improvisation Festival, Barnstorm Dance Fest, Austin Dance Festival, Aimed Dance Summer Fest, and RAD Fest. Together, they have completed residencies with Bellingham Repertory Dance, Keshet Makers Space Experience, and Homeport Art House.

What keeps dance interesting, for both the mover and the viewer? The duo’s recent choreographic collaborations attempt to answer this question with nuanced movement languages, humor, and bizarre spatial composition. In dance and in life, Anna and Jairus are trying their best. They also make coffee, read books, and hold hands.
