Nozama Dance Collective

Nozama Dance Collective is a contemporary dance company and community of creators focused on collaboration and portraying intersectional experiences of identity through technical movement and dance. In addition to producing their own evening length concert performances, Nozama has a long history of participating in local community festivals and events, as performers and teaching artists, such as NACHMO, Dance for World Community Festival, and others. With movement described as “raw,” “technical” and “powerful,” this interdisciplinary, intersectional group of creators utilizes gesture, athleticism, and partnering to move audiences and break boundaries. Co-founded by Gracie Baruzzi and Natalie Schiera in 2013, today, the company is led by visionary Artistic Director Dana Alsamsam.
