Lina Azalea Dahbour ’19
Lina Azalea Dahbour is an interdisciplinary artist and event producer based in New York City and the Hudson Valley.
She’s a dancer, performance and video artist, sculptor, and lighting designer who specializes in multimedia movement performance and dance event creation.
An injury prompted her to move from the Conservatory of Dance to the BALA interdisciplinary program.
“I believe the intensity of my college experience influenced me to break artistic and curatorial rules,” says Dahbour (Inside+Out).
Her work has been presented at New York Live Arts, ROSEKILL, Glasshouse Project, Rockaway Art Week/The Locker Room, The Living Gallery, Green Kill, Trans-Pecos, Groundswell Series, Terrain Exhibitions, North Node Kingston, The Lace Mill, and DIY venues across the Northeast.
She is a 2023 Franklin Furnace FUND Recipient for her work Light Meditations, a series of multimedia dance pieces that seek to develop a novel visual language. She is the 2024 Suzanne Fiol Curatorial Fellow at ISSUE Project Room.
She produces BADDANCE, a dance event series she founded in 2017 that upholds the merit of confounding, obscene, strange, and very bad dance works. In 2022, she co-founded Momenta, a monthly dance and performance art event series in residence at Trans-Pecos.
