Anabella Lenzu/DanceDrama is thought provoking and historically conscious dance-theater, breaking down the wall separating artist from audience. Based in New York, the mission of AL/DD is to establish and develop a cultural, educational and artistic exchange between the communities of the United States, Argentina & Italy.

Lenzu crosses sociopolitical and cultural barriers, promoting dance and art education through teaching and performing.
AL/DD explores themes of collective memory, individual identity, and social awareness by having dancers and audience fuse in a psychological and emotional experience. The repertory is an uncommon blend of modern dance, theater, ballet and ethnographic folk traditions.

Anabella Lenzu/DanceDrama, had its premier New York season produced and presented by Dance New Amsterdam in October 2006.  Since then, the company’s work has been seen in Movement Research at Judson Church, 92nd Street Y, DUMBO Festival, Galapagos Art Space, WAXworks,  Center for Remembering & Sharing (CRS),  Chashama, The Embassy of Argentina,  COOL New York Festival, La Mama,

1. Performing / Touring
