Reflecting on 2025: A Year of Growth, Collaboration, and New Horizons for Mobius Dance & Atelier

The Long Summer Day

As we look back on 2025, we are filled with gratitude and pride for the remarkable milestones Mobius Dance has achieved this year. This pivotal year has seen us deepen our roots, expand our reach, and lay a strong foundation for the exciting journey ahead.

One of the highlights of 2025 was securing Arts Council funding for our new production, The Long Summer Day. This project not only enriches our artistic repertoire but also opens doors for international touring in Italy and the UK, bringing our creative vision to new audiences and fostering cultural exchange.

Grateful

Our gratitude goes to our collaborators, whose trust, commitment, and guidance have been instrumental in our growth. Working together has allowed us to innovate, explore new ideas, and strengthen our shared mission of artistic excellence and social impact.

We extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended our shows and participated in our programs. Your dedication, passion, and enthusiasm continue to inspire us and affirm the vital role of dance and movement in community and well-being.

A special note of appreciation is also due to the Mobius Dance (UK) Board members for their unwavering support and passion. Their dedication and belief in our vision have been invaluable in guiding and sustaining our work.

New Achievements

2025 marked an important milestone in our organisational journey with the establishment of Associazione Culturale Mobius Atelier ETS in Italy. This new non-profit entity, with its dedicated Board and Co-Directors Fabiano Culora and Gianluca Vincentini, signifies our commitment to fostering cultural exchange and creative development across borders.

In addition, our partnership with the Comune di Novi Velia culminated in securing a new physical space for Mobius Atelier at the historic ex-Abbazia dei Celestini. This inspiring setting provides a tangible home for our work and a fertile ground for future projects and community engagement.

Let’s Celebrate!

As we approach the milestone of our 10th anniversary in 2026, we celebrate a decade of growth, resilience, and artistic innovation. This special occasion inspires us to launch new initiatives for young people through the creation of Mobius Youth, as well as the development of our extended Mobius Infinity program—longer courses designed to cultivate enduring skills and passion. Additionally, we are committed to enhancing well-being through upcoming online and in-person classes and retreats that foster healing, connection, and personal growth including Somatic Movement, Eco-somatics, Yoga, Pilates, Biodynamic Cranialsacral and Positive Intelligence Coaching | Re-think Your BodyMind.

Looking ahead, we are excited about the opportunities that the future holds. Our journey is a testament to the power of collaboration, perseverance, and a shared vision for meaningful artistic expression. As Mobius Dance & Atelier continues to evolve, we remain dedicated to inspiring communities, nurturing talent, and creating transformative experiences.

Together, let us embrace the next chapter with hope, courage, and a steadfast belief in the transformative power of dance and art to shape a brighter future.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Mentoring and Developing Opportunities

Professional Development and Work Placement Opportunities for the Next Generation of Talented Dance Artists. 

Did you know that Möbius Dance also offers professional development and work placement opportunities to local, national and international dance artists?

We welcome to the company Anna Cabrè-Verdiell Bosch, a local professional dance artist and journalist; Charlie Hogan, third year student at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance; Alice Lovrinic, second year student at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance; and six international young dancers: Giulia Quacqueri, Benedetta Leso, Verdiana Cristaldi, Giosiana Pennisi, Nicole Maccarrone and Giorgia Fichera.

Anna will shadow our Artistic Director Gianluca, to learn more about his role as facilitator to both choreographers and performers. 

Charlie will shadow the company dancers as well as be part of the devising process with both choreographers to gain more understanding of what it means to work within professional company. 

As part of her studies, Alice has chosen Möbius Dance for her Dance Industry Engagement Module. She will spend 20 hours with us and then write a 1500 word reflective essay to contextualise her learning within the industry. 

Do you remember that in our Winter Newsletter we said that Gianluca had been teaching his socks off abroad during the autumn, reaching over 200 students? Meet six of them: Giulia, Benedetta, Verdiana, Giosiana, Nicole and Giorgia. These are the six young dancers who are looking to gain more experience within the dance industry while they are auditioning for Conservatoires and HE institutions in the UK and abroad. They will be taking class with Möbius Dance, learning new skills from our professional performers and will have the chance to network with current students and teachers. 

Gianluca will also mentor Samuel Burkett and Matilde Torres Laborde during their Graduate Mentoring Scheme offered by ProDanceLeeds. The scheme is an opportunity for recent graduates and emerging artists interested in developing their teaching skills to be paid to teach two days of professional level class for us.

Möbius Dance are proud to support so many young artists towards their future careers in the dance industry, and we value their contributions into our rapidly expanding team of diverse and talented artists. 

Welcome aboard all, and good luck for your next stage of development!
