Meet the Business Owner

Anne R.

Business Owner

Anne Ryan moved to Ann Arbor when she was four years old and though she has traveled far from it, she’s never wanted to leave. This is entirely due to the talented, artistic, and enthusiastic people she’s had the pleasure of collaborating with over the years. She’s been involved with many creative endeavors, but her heart will always belong to the stage. She was mistress of ceremonies for The Tickled Fancy Burlesque Collective from 2007 to present, and looks forward to hosting performances of all types at The A2 Aviary.

Her aerial training in 2009 and it is no exaggeration to say that it changed her life. Aerial arts taught her a new respect for her own body’s abilities and gave her a completely different understanding of her own boundaries. Now she wants to share her enthusiasm for the discipline by creating a safe space for others to learn, practice, and grow.
