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 from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp, Belgium), and a Master’s in Holistic Science from Schumacher College (Devon, UK) where her research focused on deep ecology, animism, somatic communication, ecosophy, and ecomythology.

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 by adopting a different kind of body, a body as an ecosystem responding, a terrain of multiplicity animate with animals, dust, weather, ghosts  and  memory;  attuned to more-than-human presence, and to perception as a form of inquiry. Grounded in embodied intelligence, her multimodal practice extends from years of work in Butoh, social theatre, and somatic research. She treats artistic creation as a tactile and participatory act of listening, where movement, material, and image converge into hybrid architectures and visual poetics of transformation.

Human Clay CIC holds its asset lock with the Barn Owl Trust, a Devon-based conservation charity devoted to the protection of owls, wild habitats, and the fragile balance of life they embody. This affiliation safeguards our non-profit mission and roots our work in a wider ecology of care.

Our connection to the Trust reflects a shared love for owls and animals, whose quiet presence continually reminds us of listening, attention, and the unseen rhythms of the living world. Their spirit of watchfulness and gentle wildness echoes through our practices, guiding us to create with empathy, reciprocity, and respect for all beings.
