In 2005, her solo “Code Series” premiered, and she collaborated with Krõõt Juurak on the creation of “Look look,” which was co-produced by Austrian styling agency Unit F and Tanzquartier Wien and performed in many European cities. For apap V (Advancing Performing Arts Project), she created “Sport und Tanzformen,” a three-part project with professional athletes that was produced in each of the project’s six European partner
cities. 2006-07, Anne Juren was artist-in-residence at Tanzquartier Wien. In May 2008, her new group piece entitled “Composition” had its world premiere at Tanzquartier Wien. In Fall 2008, she is performing her latest piece, “Magical,” and is also a curator at Tanzquartier Wien.
