Credits Choreography Assistant to choreographer World premiere Music Lighting design Video director Costume design Press reviews “This piece is more than relevant and it is more than current. It is contemporary, and it is what dance is now. Ochoa is truly a masterful choreographer with an edge for what dance can and should be in this constantly changing industry. Her schooling well predicted her becoming a rising star of the Dutch dance scene, and Annabelle Lopez Ochoa has shown that she is a star today and deserves the recognition for this simply phenomenal piece of work.” “Ochoa’s Zip Zap Zoom, a world premiere, is an explosive dance set in the virtual world of video games. The primary fascination is how dancers morph into virtual characters, even non-human squiggles. Each level of the game brings new dance forms - hip-hop isolations, ballroom motifs, cabaret teases - and the dancers perform with sharp energy and strong personalities.” San Diego Arts, San Diego, California, USA, Kris Eitland, October 18, 2009

ROSSINI CARDS
The sumptuous choreography feeds the spectator´s imagination with harmony, music and drama. The creation invites you to a feast prepared by two Italian masters: Mauro Bigonzetti and Rossini, composer and master chef. Rossini, revolutionized 19th century opera, he is a genius and an epicurean. This master musician loves surround himself in mystery and pretends to be and idler and a sensualist. The creator of many master pieces such as Il barbiere di Siviglia, L’italiana in Algeri and Guillaume Tell, is also known for being a gourmet, source of inspiration for Rossini Cards.

The audience was delighted, with a smile on every face at intermission and the close of the program.” Portland Press Herald. Portland, USA, Jennifer Brewer, April 26th, 2009. “At the end of this remarkable movement, mere applause seemed inadequate. A respectful silence –reflecting a shame that one’s own life might never have approached such an ideal- seemed more appropriate. I felt an immense debt to Bigonzetti for showing me something so beautiful.” Broad Street Review. Philadelphia, USA, Jim Rutter, February 21st, 2009
