Anastazia Louise is the founder and artistic director of Bad Unkl Sista, a performance art ensemble that combines unique choreography, improvised music, couture costuming, and physical theater elements to produce site-specific durational performances that seek to provoke and inspire – changing how witnesses relate to the performers, to the world, and to themselves. Since 2002, she has produced hundreds of performances for local, regional, and international promoters and festivals.

Anastazia is a queer, neurodiverse, multimedia artist and creative on the Autism spectrum. They have an eclectic palette of experience spanning multiple arts and entertainment fields.

Staz offers a personally developed presence-based movement style that combines a lifetime of performance experience distilled from a vast array of teachers and collaborators. They have been performing and teaching this presence technique for 30 years.

Anastazia also designs and creates visual and wearable art in the form of handmade costumes, headpieces, fabric installations, jewelry, painting, and poetry.

Anastazia continues to evolve her characteristically unique fusion of performance and costuming, foregrounding the pathways of transcribing and uniting outer and inner landscapes into a physical expression to reach witnesses on a personal level.
