Anna Kushnerova is a visual artist, filmmaker, choreographer, and somatic educator, and serves as the director of Human Clay Productions CIC. Her academic background includes a BA in Finance from the London School of Economics, an MA in Arts and Textiles from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp, Belgium), and a Master’s in Holistic Science from Schumacher College, where her research focused on deep ecology, animism, somatic communication, ecosophy, and speculative ethnography.
Anna’s interdisciplinary work bridges movement, ritual, and material culture, with a focus on the body as a site of memory, transmission, and relational knowledge. Her practice explores forms of anthropological wandering not based on traveling to a different culture, but on adopting a different kind of body—one attuned to more-than-human presence, to gesture as language, and to perception as a form of inquiry. Grounded in embodied intelligence, this approach draws from many years of training in Butoh, social theatre, and somatic research, treating filmmaking as a poetic and participatory act of listening.
As producer and director, Anna is responsible for project coordination, budget oversight, community engagement, and the development of educational and public-facing materials that extend the impact of the film beyond the screen.
