Anna Zastrow was hit smack in the face by the bug (that’s the theater bug) the moment she popped out of Momma’s belly and has ever since pursued activities in the arts. Her first major dramatic role, after being born, was as a Snow Angel in kindergarten, she then moved on to produce, direct, and perform in her own theaterpiece about an evil queen in third grade, and generally continued being a nuisance to the teachers by her great theatrical antics and ambitions.  

Originally a cheesehead from Wisconsin, who then got transplanted to Sweden (yes, there is Swedish cheese, too, but the chocolate’s even better — mmmm......Marabou), Anna spent the majority of her formative years among the dark forces of the night-lit North, sharing this fate with the likes of Strindberg, Munck, and Grieg. She eventually escaped to New York.  

Anna recently returned to NYC after a self-imposed exile to first the boondocks of Michigan—then Paris, where she spent two lunatic years at Ecole Jacques Lecoq: a conservatory for the study of movement, rhythm, and space in the universe of theater. Primarily an actor, she is leaning towards dance, directing, and visual design. In 2000, she launched her first project of her theater company Loka Maer for the New York International Fringe Festival, an exciting venture that will eventually lead to further interesting productions. (Dependant on resources.  Contributions welcome.) In the meantime, she has found a true calling in clowning—and continues on in hot pursuit of intriguing acting work.  Call for that national commercial or great movie-deal.
