ANYA DOAN

Hello! My name is Anya. I am a Vietnamese emerging writer, performer, and dramaturg living in Brussels, Belgium.

​

Currently, I am studying choreography and performance at Institut Supérieur des Arts et des Chorégraphies (ISAC) at Académie royale des Beaux-Arts Ecole supérieure des Arts Ville de Bruxelles (ArBA EsA). 

​

​I have a background in philosophy. I hold a Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy and Economics, Honours Class I) from The University of Sydney in Australia, and a Research Master of Philosophy (Magna Cum Laude) from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. My research interests included philosophy of race, postcolonial and decolonial theory, and critical theory.

​

Across my academic, choreographic, and artistic practices alike, my work and method attempt to inhabit the generative tensions between coloniality and decoloniality. I see discomfort as constitutive of the very possibility of decolonisation––as mechanisms of colonial power continue to disfigure voice, body, subjectivity, and resistance itself.​​
