Anna Rebecca Menslin studied Music and Dance Studies at the University of Salzburg and completed her Master’s degree in Performative Music and Dance Studies in 2023. Until 2018 she studied piano at the Mozarteum Salzburg. She worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Salzburg until 2023 and has been teaching courses on movement analysis since 2023. During her academic career, she worked as an assistant at the Derra de Moroda Dance Archives from 2022 to 2023 and worked in the Archive & Dramaturgy Department of the Salzburg Festival in the summer of 2024. Her most recently completed research project “Magazines as Stages for Dance” combines her research interests in dance, fashion, archival practices and body concepts.
Anna Rebecca Menslin is doing her doctorate in the Inter-University Doctoral School “Cultures in Transformation” on the topic of “Dancing Fashion Bodies: Method and Analysis of Vestimentary Constellations in Cultures of Change”. In her research, she investigates how fashion and fashion bodies emerge in performative contexts, when bodies and textiles interact, move, interweave, model and transform in direct exchange. Her research project aims to develop methods for analyzing vestimentary constellations, linking theory and practice, science and art.
