MASTER CLASSES

Master classes run between 1.5 and 3 hours and are an excellent way to expose dancers or students to diverse approaches to dance. Master classes on any topic may be designed to meet the needs of the particular environment.

WORKSHOPS

AL/DD provides workshops from one day up to 2 weeks, and may be tailored to fit specific levels, schedules and/or institution’s requests. Workshops are designed to suit the individual needs of the venue. They may be eclectic, introducing participants to different styles and subjects, or cumulative, building up a base of knowledge over the course of the workshop.

Workshops include: Choreography & Improvisation, AL/DD Repertory, Modern Dance, Ballet, Barre a Terre, Argentinean Tango & Italian Folk Dance.

LECTURE DEMONSTRATIONS

A Lecture/Demonstration is an excellent opportunity to engage, stimulate and teach audiences about a variety of different themes. We offer age-appropriate programs from primary school to the university level.

During the Lecture/Demonstration, Lenzu alternates between speaking, showing videos/photo projections and movement demonstrations.

RESIDENCIES

Residencies of 1-2 weeks are available, and may be structured to meet the demands of different environments. Residencies of at least 2 weeks may also include Lenzu setting a piece from Anabella Lenzu / Dance Drama repertory or/and choreographic commissions in performing arts high schools or universities.

PRE- / POST-PERFORMANCE DISCUSSIONS

Intended to be informal; Lenzu will speak about the evening’s performances, and generally includes the following topics:dance history, personal experience and repertory -and most importantly- the process of research and compositionthat sustains her choreographic work. These discussions open the door to new readings and possible interpretations of the performance and the artist’s voice.
