Anne MacGillivray Wilson grew up in Pittsburgh, where she first started chasing the ballerina dream at the age of nine, studying at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and Point Park College. During her time at the Pennsylvania Governors School for the Arts in 2001, she converted to chasing the modern dream. Her quest to become a prima modernina led her first to Arizona State University in 2003 where she studied with folks such as Karen Schupp, Cynthia Roses-Thema, Brad Garner and Daniel Nagrin. Fearing the Arizona sun might make her too tan, she left for more familiar climates in Philadelphia. She graduated in with honors from University of the Arts with a BFA in Modern Dance Performance with an Emphasis in Choreography in 2007. She has attended Point Park University summer programs, Pro Danza Italia, and the American Dance Festival, where she studied with David Dorfman, Karinne Keithley, Paul Matteson, and Jillian Pena. In Spring 2007 she presented work in The Lush Project: Spring Season 2007. She is currently rehearsing with Malleable Dance Theater in New York, and is an intern at Philly�s Headlong Dance Theater. She will also soon be a published author, with her short story, �Hoagie: A Love Story� in the upcoming Philly Fiction 2.
