Maine Anders

Maine, known on stage as "The Maine Attraction", landed her first professional dance job as a teenager for MTV's Fight For Your Rights Campaign. Since then, she has performed alongside a number of greats including legends James Brown and Lionel Richie, pop sensations Jessica Simpson and Pharrell Williams, and burlesque divas Dita Von Tease and Gentry de Paris. Her tenacious spirit has helped her become one of New York's most celebrated Burlesque Performers. A muse for numerous visual artists, she has collaborated with conceptual photographer LaToya Ruby Frazier and multimedia extraordinaire, Matthew Barney, the infamous DJ Tiesto and performed for exclusive fashion events hosted by icons Patricia Field and Marc Jacobs. Her ability to transform herself into a myriad of characters gives her the opportunity to play roles that are left of center, and fuse the elements of sex, comedy and drama effortlessly. Most recently known for playing herself in Focus' Features' highly anticipated release "Pariah" (2011), Maine has also played leading roles in indie features: "Miente" (Cannes, Havana Film Festival), comedy-horror sensation "Nefertitty", and Lower East Side coming of age drama, "My Normal". Her role in "Million In The Mirror", a PSA for breast cancer research, recently won the viewers choice award on the Lifetime channel.
