ArModa (abbreviation of "Art Music Meets Modern Dance") is Anne's word for what she's been exploring these days. ArModa is a cutting-edge genre that she's been developing since 2003. And, as a form that presents an infinitum of expressive potential, she's just getting started.

Exhibiting the power of ArModa, Anne uses an acoustic cello, a viola da gamba, and "wear-able" electric cello as partners in a pas-de-deux that is as much about the movement as it is about the music. Her creations meld sound and motion such that the two are inseparable. The music and choreography are created simultaneously, forming a strange and beautiful double helix of sound and movement.
