Early life and career

Vladimir Angelov graduated from the National Choreographic School in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1986.[2] He first danced full-time for the national contemporary ballet company Ballet Arabesque in Sofia while studying philosophy at the University of Sofia. Angelov immigrated first to Austria and then to the US in the early 1990s. In 1996, Angelov completed his master's degree in dance and choreography at American University in Washington, D.C., under professor Dr. Naima Prevots while being directly influenced by many American groundbreaking choreographers such as Twyla Tharp, Mark Morris, Ron Brown, Dianne McIntyre, Doug Varone, Debbie Allen, and many others.[3]

Angelov has choreographed at the Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., under the artistic direction of Plácido Domingo.[4] [5] [6] He also choreographed for diverse musical, theater, film, and television productions.[7] He has also frequently choreographed for the City Dance Ensemble in Washington, D.C.[8]

Angelov has created original ballets for companies such as Arizona Ballet, Atlanta Ballet, CityDance,[9] [10] Indianapolis Ballet,[11] Richmond Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, and Washington Ballet[12] in the United States. Internationally, he has choreographed for Alberta Ballet, National Ballet of Finland, National Ballet of Mexico, Ballet Manila, Tokyo City Ballet, Mariinsky Ballet in St. Petersburg, among others. One of his frequent collaborators is Rasta Thomas, for whom he created many solo works.[13]

Angelov is a regular guest lecturer at George Washington University and American University[14] in Washington D.C., and has taught at numerous universities and seminars at dance companies in Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria,[15] China, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and Russia.

Dance ICONS

In 2015, Angelov founded the International Consortium for Advancement in Choreography, Inc, known as Dance ICONS (International Choreographers’ Organization and Networking Services). The organization is a global association for choreographers based in Washington, DC, USA.[16] [17] Since the inception of the organization, he has served as the Executive Director. Part of his work as the Executive Director of Dance ICONS includes leading a Choreographic Institute that provides professional development to emerging and early-career choreographers. The Institute is hosted in partnership with the Atlas Performing Arts Center.[18] In his work for Dance ICONS, Angelov has interviewed and hosted Choreographic Talks with prominent choreographers and artists, such as Wendy Whelan, Brian Brooks, Ronald K. Brown, Rennie Harris, and Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, among others.[19] [20]

Publications

Between 1994 and 2008, Angelov wrote and published more than 30 articles, features, reports, performance reviews, and philosophical essays about dance in several European dance magazines, including Ballet Journal[21] [22] (Munich, Germany), Ballet/Tanz[23] (Berlin, Germany), and TanzAffiche[24] [25] [26] [27] (Vienna, Austria).

In 2023, Angelov published a new book on choreography and the artistic practices of dance making, YOU, THE CHOREOGRAPHER, Creating and Crafting Dance, through Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group.[28]  The book synthesizes histories, theories, philosophies, and creative practices across diverse genres of concert dance choreography. The book is designed for choreographers at every stage of creative development, as well as readers who seek to refine their artistic sensibility.[29]
