“ From the chaos of daily life, Anabella Lenzu / DanceDrama distills the pure essence of real experience, real feelings and real people. DanceDrama is the magnifying glass that reveals and examines emotional histories.“

Anabella Lenzu/DanceDrama is thought provoking and historically conscious dance-theater company, 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 Baryshnikov Arts Center, 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,
Hatch Series/TheWorks Studio, NYU Casa Zerilli Marimo, Merce Cunningham Studio, New Dance Group Art Center, University Settlement,  Abrons Arts Center,  Jewish Community Center,  HERE Arts Center, and Charlotte Dance Festival/NC, among others.

Anabella Lenzu / DanceDrama’s mission is achieved through:

1. Performing / Touring
Different programs tailored to suit any venue include:
performances, master classes, lectures/demonstrations, and pre- or post-performance discussions. Educating an audience is also a priority, so including a didactic aspect while on tour is always emphasized.

2. Education and Outreach Programs

Anabella Lenzu / DanceDrama offers a variety of educational programs, holding regular classes in New York, along with: lectures/demonstrations, master classes, workshops and residencies for primary and secondary schools, universities and colleges, dance studios, cultural centers and any institution.
