During Pointeworks’ January NYC Residency, three dancers spent a partial day with choreographer Danielle Diniz for a creative lab experience. During this brief session, Diniz’s bold and dynamic movement creation was immediately a match for Pointeworks and the positive studio energy she cultivated provided a nourishing environment for the dancers to shine in her movement asks.

Here are some clips from what she created during this lab and offer a sneak peek into what she might bring into her full week-long residency in March.

Dancers: AvaRose Dillon, Ella Titus, and Chandler Proctor
