Ana Stegnar is a Slovenian dancer, choreographer and pedagogue based in Brussels. After her early dance education in Ljubljana, she continued her studies at the Centre National de Danse Contemporaine (CNDC) in Angers, France. In the 1990s, she performed with Plesni Teater Ljubljana, Iztok Kovač and the Slovene Youth Theatre before joining Ultima Vez, the internationally renowned company of Belgian choreographer Wim Vandekeybus.
Since 2003, together with Saïd Gharbi, she has co-directed the Brussels-based company Les Ballets du Grand Miro (Les BGM), creating dance-theatre works for diverse audiences and developing artistic research projects focused on presence, ritual and perception. Alongside her choreographic work, she has been active as a teacher and mentor in numerous educational institutions and community-based projects in Belgium. Her artistic and pedagogical practice is informed by improvisation, Body Weather and Skinner Releasing Technique, and explores the relationship between movement, perception and embodied experience.
