Anna Palyi

Anna joined Kettle’s Yard in 2025 as Trusts and Foundations Coordinator.

Before coming to Kettle’s Yard, Anna previously worked as Fundraising Intern and then Fundraising Administrator at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London. Prior to this she studied Comparative Literature at UCL and Drama and Voice Coaching at RADA and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. In her spare time, she enjoys painting, especially plants and wildlife she encounters on her walks in nature.

Anna’s favourite thing about Kettle’s Yard is that while the outside world can often feel hectic and overwhelming, the Kettle’s Yard house feels like a safe haven, an oasis of calm where the noise of everyday life fades away. She finds the bridge with its conservatory of plants, the dancer room and library especially calming, and enjoys the play of lights and shadows produced by the sun shining on Gregorio Vardanega’s Disc, Gaudier-Brzeska’s Dancer and Kenji Umeda’s Spirality.
