Lorena Nogal Choreographer assistant

Biography

Born in 1984 in Barcelona, Lorena Nogal trained in dance at the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona, where she graduated in 2005. She then joined IT Dansa, where she performed works by choreographers such as Ohad Naharin, Jiří Kylián, Alexander Ekman, Stijn Celis, and Nacho Duato. She later became a member of Companyia Gelabert Azzopardi and Lanònima Imperial, where she began her professional career.

Since 2008, she has been a permanent member of the artistic team of La Veronal, where she has developed her career as a performer and collaborator with Marcos Morau. She has taken part in numerous international productions, notably with the Royal Danish Ballet, Beijing Dance Theater, GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, National Dance Company Wales, Compañía Nacional de Danza, Scapino Ballet Rotterdam, Carte Blanche, Norrdans, Skånes Dansteater, Ballet Zürich, the Spanish National Ballet, and Nederlands Dans Theater.

In 2018, she co-founded HOTEL Col·lectiu Escènic, a project born from the desire to create spaces for encounter and exchange between different artistic imaginaries. Through this platform, she has collaborated with artists such as Marie Gyselbrecht (Peeping Tom), Quim Bigas, Lisi Estaràs, and playwright Jordi Oriol. Lorena Nogal has also developed a personal trajectory as a choreographer. Her works include El elogio de la fisura, Alegorías (El límite y sus mapas), Aquí, Picassa, Le Terroir, and The Protagonist.

She leads workshops and training programs related to the KOVA method, a movement language developed in collaboration with La Veronal.

In 2024, she received the Spanish National Dance Award in the Performance category, presented by the Spanish Ministry of Culture, as well as the Talía Award for Best Female Performer, awarded by the Spanish Academy of Performing Arts. Previously, she received the Catalan Critics’ Award for Best Dancer (2016) and has been nominated several times for national and international awards.
