Approaching Anna - with Stephanie Troyak

Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions Marc and Stephanie couldn’t meet in the studio. In this home recording episode Marc and Stephanie speak about New York City, auditions, first jobs and Pina Bausch’s pieces. Stephanie openly recounts her personal way becoming a dancer and how cruel the dance industry can be for a young girl. In 2018 she took over the role of Anna II, originally played by Jo Ann Endicott, in Pina Bausch’s Brecht/Weill evening The Seven Deadly Sins. Stephanie reflects on how her own experiences helped her when approaching the role and how her body remembered things she didn’t even think about. Did you ever tell your deodorant how much you love it? Stephanie Troyak has been a permanent member of the ensemble since 2017.
