Welcome

Posted on August 20, 2010 by Ann Mazzocca

I’ve created this blog in order to lay out some of my background information, creative intentions, previous work, and what’s ahead. I’m currently back in my favorite city – living in Brooklyn, NY – after an extremely fertile two-year retreat in the southern California desert at UCR’s Experimental Choreography program. I recently made a new dance “Rete/Trankil” in collaboration with Jennifer Brogle Jones and musicians Rodolphe ‘Neg Mawon’ Pierre and Yatande Boko that was performed September 10-12, 2010 at The Rover Soho in Manhattan. Currently teaching yoga at The Brooklyn Latin School in East Williamsburg/Bushwick, I am also pursuing academic work in dance, composition, and theory. Please feel free to contact me here or at annmazzocca@gmail.com and thanks for stopping by!

About Ann Mazzocca

Ann Mazzocca recently graduated with an M.F.A. in Experimental Choreography from the University of California, Riverside after presenting her evening-length work Kolaborasyon  Haiti. After receiving an MA from UCLA's Department of World Arts and Cultures in 2001, Mazzocca toured nationally, internationally, and locally with Haitian and Cuban dance companies based in NYC under the direction of Mikerline Pierre, Lionel St. Surin, Julio Jean, Peniel Guerrier, and Felix “Pupy” Insua. Her choreography has been presented in LA, Miami, NYC, throughout New England, and Riverside, CA. She has taught on faculty at Connecticut College, Springfield College, Yale University, the Hartford Conservatory and as a guest artist at Riverside Community College and Mt. San Jacinto College in addition to K-12 settings. Inspired by the communal living and intimacy she encountered in Haiti and her experiences in the diasporic Haitian folkloric dance community, Mazzocca’s work approaches Haitian dance through Western contemporary dance methods.
