Annabelle Gamson
choreographer

Annabelle Gamson, began studying dance at age five and attended the High School of Music and Art and the Professional Children’s School in New York. In the 1950s she performed on Broadway, television, and with American Ballet Theatre. After marrying in 1958, she temporarily left the dance world. She returned to dance at the American Theater Laboratory in New York in 1974 with a mixture of her own choreography and several pieces by Duncan. Although Duncan’s work had often been thought of as improvisational, Gamson showcased her craftsmanship, making her work relevant to a new generation. Through her solo dance performances Gamson also revived interest in the work of German expressionist choreographer Mary Wigman and American modern dancer Eleanor King.

For Peggy Baker Dance Projects: Annabelle created two solos commissioned by Peggy - Accident and Sand.
