If you are not sure how to say Anke’s name, it rhymes with the German word for thank you – ‘Danke’. Anke was born in Germany and illustrates stories, poems, and events, using sand and an ‘old-school’ overhead projector. Her sand-work has been seen at spoken word poetry events including at Trades Hall and Federation Square. She currently co-runs monthly poetry events in Dandenong (Perc.U.lations) and Northcote (RadioLaria) and writes poetry and lyrics. Anke has previously worked across Australia as a performer, facilitator and artist, with Theatro Oneiron and Crossroad Arts. She regularly performs in the neo-folk duo ‘Awkward Strangers’.
