Zanna Cornelis
DancerOverview
Zanna is making her debut with New Adventures in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake 2018/19 tour.
Other career highlights: Upon graduating in 2011, Zanna joined Ballett Chemnitz for two seasons and danced in pieces by company director Lode Devos, Natalia Horeçna, Ben van Cauwenbergh, Lode Devos and Cathérine Habasque.
She then became a member of Ballett Eisenach where, over the course of five seasons, she danced in many productions by director Andris Plucis (favourite roles include Firebird and White Swan in Swan Lake), in two new productions by Jorgé Perez Martínez, and in several pieces choreographed by colleagues as part of the company’s Young Choreographer evenings. For the edition in 2017, Zanna created Gate 6 for 6 dancers of the company.
During those years she also performed in the musicals Hair, Rocky Horror Show, Evita and Aida, and in a live broadcasted Silvester show in Dubai.
Dedication: Zanna would love to organise or take part in a dance project with refugee children. As dance is a universal language, she thinks it would be a beautiful way to contribute to the wellbeing and integration of those who have built up a life in a new environment.
