Anders has worked closely as dancer and collaborator with Carl Aquilizan over several years, performing in venues such as Dansens Hus Oslo, Kloden Teater and Munch Museum. He has also worked with the likes of Ingri Fiksdal, Kristin Ryg Helgebostad and Katrine Kirsebom.
Beyond performance, Anders has produced for festivals such as RAVNEDANS (2021–2024), and contributed to the cultural field through consulting roles and board positions. He is currently vice chair of the board at PRODA profesjonell dansetrening. He is also the co-initiator of Dansekontoret, alongside Caroline Skjørshammer, a nomadic co-working initiative for dance artists in Oslo.
