Biography
Anna Kichtchenko, a Canadian of Russian origin, discovered the world of circus at the age of 12 with Russian traditional circus performers in Toronto. Later, she decided to pursue her passion by moving to Montreal and enrolling at the National Circus School, from which she graduated in 2011. Her focus in aerial acrobatics and contortion remains a strong influence when creating and collaborating on works. Anna is curious about paradoxes, parallels, ambiguity, composition, layers and how contemporary circus can be a multitude of expressions. While continuing to work as a professional circus artist with internationally renowned companies such as The 7 Fingers, Cirque du Soleil, Palazzo, and more, she has also worked in several artistic associate roles. Anna formed The Chita Project, a performative duo with artist, Pablo Pramparo.
