About

Anna Clock (they/them) is an artist, composer and musician.

Their work spans theatre, film, radio, installation, written texts and live music. Their practice is centred on ways of listening, and challenging audiences to listen to each other, and their world, in new ways. They play the cello and also cut hair.

They have presented work at theatres, galleries and venues including The Royal Court Theatre, Wellcome Collection, Royal Exchange Theatre, The Albany, Camden People’s Theatre, Lyric Hammersmith, Soho Theatre, V & A Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, Brixton House, Project Arts Centre, Harrow & Wealdstone Library, Mainz Staatstheater, Dresden Staatsschauspiel, Copeland Gallery, Cooper Gallery, UC San Diego, and a range of site specific locations across the UK, Ireland and Germany. 

Their audio works have been played on Radio 4, Radio 3, Resonance FM and RTE Lyric radio. 

Their compositions have been played by ensembles such as RTE Contempo Quartet, Tonnta, New Dublin Voices, Kirkos Ensemble, Node Ensemble, Dulciana, Gamelan Nua and Téada Orchestra, and as a musician they have collaborated with Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh, Woven Skull, Hozier, David Lacey, Gavin Prior, David Turpin, Emma O’Reilly and others.

Other recent collaborations include work with visual artists, dancers and scientists. They are currently consulting on an independent research project into medical listening and telehealth supported by The Cleveland Clinic, and have an ongoing collaborative research project with neuro-ethicist Lauren Sankary around sound, headphone space, gender and vulnerability.

Their work is often participatory and they have run workshops, lectured and taught in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the USA, Colombia, and online.

They also cut hair, offering affordable gender-neutral hairdressing in the queer community.
