ANNE MULLER

Ms. Muller received her training from the Washington School of Ballet and from Dame Sonia Arova at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. She received additional training with The Kirov Academy, Houston Ballet Academy, the Joffrey Workshop and the School of American Ballet. Ms. Mueller joined OBT in 1996 after three seasons with the Alabama Ballet. During her time with the company, she has most recently danced featured roles in works by George Balanchine, Nicolo Fonte, James Kudelka, Trey McIntyre, Yuri Possokhov, Jerome Robbins, Christopher Stowell, Twyla Tharp and Christopher Wheeldon. During the summers of 2005-2007, Ms. Mueller toured nationally with the Trey McIntyre Project, also serving as the ensemble’s Managing Director from 2004 - 2006.

Ms. Mueller’s first choreographic works (three co-creations with Vanessa Thiessen) appeared as part of OBT’s 2000, 2001 and 2002 seasons under the Artistic Direction of James Canfield. Ms. Mueller's choreography was selected for Ballet Builders 2009 in New York, NY. In response to the work showcased, Tim Martin of Dance Europe wrote, “Mueller captures the mood without being literal and we get to enjoy her dancers being sad or playful or just wonderfully kinetic…” Her choreography appears in the repertoire of Arova Contemporary Ballet, Ballet Victoria and the Alabama Ballet. She has also presented works at Summer Dance Lab, Snowy Range Summer Dance Festival and the Portland Concert in the Park series. Ms. Mueller holds the position of Artistic Coordinator at OBT and teaches in the School of Oregon Ballet Theatre.
