In this episode of Firelight Chats, Anja Whitehead danced her way to the Spacelab to chat with Kane & Mocha by the fireside about her rollercoaster adventures through life. Anja shares stories about growing up in South Africa, making her way to Taiwan as the first stamp on her passport, her passion for education, changes she's seen over the years, starting one of the first burlesque troupes, memorable performances, getting married and moving away to Berlin right before Covid, and finally finding her way back just in the nick of time.
Anja also talks deeply and honestly about getting divorced, hitting rock bottom, the dark nights of the soul, embracing therapy, coming to terms and out with her queerness, fighting fear head on, and finding her voice again after feeling silenced for so long. She also talks about her new life as a freelancer and the many exciting new projects that she's currently working on.
Anja Whitehead is an educator, dancer/performer, stage & production manager, events & arts coordinator, and obstinate lover of physical books. Originally from South Africa, Anja has made Taiwan her home for the past 18 years with a tumultuous yet valuable 2-year intermission in Berlin, Germany.
