Anjali loves working with choruses and large ensembles of dancers, actors, and singers, shaping how they connect with the audience and create the scene. She focuses on clear communication, building trust, and strengthening the whole piece, and prides herself on bringing out the best in everyone.

During her master's, she researched a choreographer's roles across theatre and what actors, singers and dancers need for communication, agency, creativity and performance. Anjali focuses on the story as a whole and collaborates with directors, designers and teams on each moment's essence, pulse and mood, ensuring movement supports and fits the work's arc through staging, movement, character, intimacy and dance..

Anjali adapts her movement to each project, using poetry, expressive hand, arm and facial gestures, abstract imagery, art and nature to shape bodies that convey feeling, emotion and story. Her work is often called beautiful, moving, energetic and seamless.
