Annabelle has been recognized with multiple choreographic prizes such the Hannover choreographic competition and the Bornem choreographers’ contest. She is also the recipient of multiple awards such as the UK Dance Award for Best Classical Ballet, Villanueva Award, South Bank Sky Arts Award, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award and in 2025 she received the Dance Lab NY honors.
Annabelle is one of the world’s busiest choreographers (a quote by Wendy Peron in Dance Magazine 2016) as well as one of the very few female choreographers who excels in narrative ballet. She has successfully created 15 narrative ballets to date such as “FRIDA”, “Coco Chanel, the life of a fashion icon”, “Doña Peron”, “Callas, La Divina”, “A Streetcar named desire.” In April 2025, Annabelle premiered a brand-new full-length version of Carmen for Miami City Ballet.
Annabelle is delighted to take on the position of resident choreographer at Dortmund Ballet from the season 2025/26, a position she that will share with Edward Clug.
