Sabrina Lobner
Performer Choreographer
A riveting performer with strong stage presence, her intensity is compelling rather than demanding. She deftly vacillates between control and abandon, at once ethereal and grounded. - Cecly Placenti, Six Degrees Dance
Sabrina Gail Lobner moved to NYC at the age of 18 to join Martha Graham Dance Company's second company, Graham 2. Graham repertory performed includes "Woman in White" in Diversion of Angels and the solos Frontier and Satyric Festival Song. She performed the classic modern solo En Dolor by Ethel Winter, and originated roles in works by Virginie Mécène and Adam Barruch. Sabrina went on to perform for director Richard Stafford, as well as choreographers Billy Blanken, Elizabeth Troxler, James Kinney, Luis Salgado, Mina Nishimura and Na An. She was commissioned to choreograph new works for the Northwest Florida Ballet in 2019.
During the pandemic, Sabrina seized the opportunity to complete her B.A. at Sarah Lawrence College and graduated May 2022. While attending, she was awarded a grant to complete an unprecedented thesis project. Sabrina single-handedly directed, choreographed and produced her first full evening-length work, entitled If I Reach You. The piece premiered in the Bessie Schönberg Dance Theatre at Sarah Lawrence College on March 6, 2022 and featured a cast of seven New York City based professional dancers.
Summer 2022, Sabrina performed in a premiere production of Strauss’ The Silent Woman, directed by Christian Räth and choreographed by David Neumann, at the Fisher Center at Bard SummerScape. That fall, Sabrina was honored to contribute choreography for The Mechanicals Theatre Co.’s production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night in NYC. She also performed with Lyric Opera of Kansas City in La Traviata, directed by Francesca Zambello and choreographed by Andrea Beasom.
Sabrina was a guest artist with Seattle Opera in May 2023 dancing in Zambello’s La Traviata. She was then selected by The Tank NYC to present her new evening-length work, Little Marble Kisses, which premiered August 2023 in NYC. This past fall, Sabrina danced with Sheep Meadow Dance Theatre in their multi-media NYC performance. Most recently, she performed with The Martha Graham Dance Company in Dior’s Carousel of Dreams for Saks Fifth Avenue’s holiday unveiling and in The Wick Theatre’s (FL) production of Carousel. Currently, Sabrina is the Executive Producer of Developments, Original Works by New York Choreographers.
