Colombian-Belgian Annabelle Lopez Ochoa (b. 1973) trained at the Royal Ballet School of Antwerp, Belgium. She danced for twelve years before becoming a choreographer in 2003. Her varied repertoire includes short conceptual pieces, full-length narratives, and dance films. Lopez Ochoa has created works for over seventy dance companies worldwide, including ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ฅ๐ข for the Dutch National Ballet (2020), which explores the life of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. She is currently working on her first evening-length work for Ballet Hispaฬnico in New York, ๐๐ฐ๐ฏฬ๐ข ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฐฬ๐ฏ, which portrays the life of Argentinean former First Lady Eva Peroฬn. In 2019, she received the prestigious Jacobโs Pillow Dance Award; she currently lives in Amsterdam. In the choreography for her ballet, ๐๐ถ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ๐ช๐ค๐ข, Lopez Ochoa sought to answer the question โHow do you put cubism into movement?โ She created cubist effects by arranging dancers into poses, so that the brain appears to see four heads and only two legs. Special thank you to San Francisco Ballet for making this exhibition possible.
