FALL 2024 CHOREOGRAPHIC MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
A FULL immersion into the creative Act of Choreography
For choreographers, dancers, theater directors, performance artists, filmmakers, and multidisciplinary artists.
FACULTY: ANABELLA LENZU
DATES: October 5, 12, 19 & 26, 2024 (Saturdays from 11am-1pm – NYC time)
Online Choreographic Mentorship Program, is an Online 1 month program where YOU can immerse yourself in the creative process of a NEW choreography study for STAGE PERFORMANCE or a new short DANCE FILM study.
During one month, participants will be guided and mentored by Anabella Lenzu, international choreographer and teacher with over 33 years of experience.
During the weekly encounters online on Saturdays from 11am-1pm (NYC Time), participants will be given prompts to ignite new ideas and challenge their creative process for the creation of new choreographic material.
We explore different topics including: Form and Content, Music and Dance relationship, Ritual Vs. Performance, Text and Dance relationship, among others.
Through short in-class assignments and extensive work outside of class, participants will investigate the subject matter that they choose to explore in choreography for the stage or film. We look not only at what we dance but also ask the question “Why do we dance?”
Each session lasts 2 hours and includes: Focused time on development and experimentation with different techniques of Choreography, exploration and examination of the individual creative process, artistic brainstorming, feedback, as well collaborating with other artists and designers.
By exploring different choreographic methodologies (for live performances as well as for an online audience) the artist will work on a new creation expanding their creative toolbox with the end goal of presenting this material online at the end of the mentorship.
Besides your personal growth, this will be a unique opportunity to connect with other international artists working with deep intensity and strong vision.

““Anabella’s mentoring choreography workshop was the fuel I needed to restart my work. I relished her assignments which were rich and adaptable to the many individuals in class, both professional and student. Anabella is especially adept at facilitating discussion online and generating a desire to create. She is passionate about work and supporting artists to make work and her enthusiasm was motivating and refreshing! This stimulating Composition Lab in practice and theory is a delicious invitation to artists to create with the support of a respected artist and a creative community. I look forward to taking it again!”

““Anabella’s workshop invited a group of movement artists to participate in learning from each other and ourselves in profound ways. Anabella fostered a strong community of artistic support and at the same time offered philosophical, and theoretical guidance by sharing a curated collection of videos and texts. Anabella also made the time to independently provide feedback to participants in outside-of-workshop hours. This feedback was essential to the growth of my choreographic work. I am deeply grateful to Anabella and my fellow workshop participants for the mentorship that they have shared as I’ve sought to cultivate my artistic point of view during the pandemic. I feel energized and supported in ways that I have been intensely craving for some time now.”
