Since 2024, Anson Zwingelberg has performed with Pam Tanowitz Dance in new creations premiered at major international venues, including the Royal Opera House for Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels, the Fisher Center at Bard College for SummerScape, and Palais Garnier for Gala Lyrique Costanzo with Paris Opera.
In 2019, Anson performed in Night of 100 Solos at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the New York presentation of the Merce Cunningham Centennial. The event featured 100 solos drawn from Cunningham’s repertory, performed simultaneously in New York, London, and Los Angeles. That same year, he was nominated by Charlotte Ballet Artistic Director Hope Muir for the Princess Grace Dance Fellowship.
Anson is an authorized instructor of Cunningham Technique® through the Merce Cunningham Trust, having completed the Trust’s inaugural teacher-training program. His teaching also includes modern and ballet technique, contemporary, improvisation, and conditioning.
Anson began his dance training in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, at Coastal Dance Centre with Liza Mata. He continued at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities, studying with Stanislav Issaev, Josée Garant, and Sandra Neels (MCDC 1963–73).
He earned his BFA in Dance from The Juilliard School in 2017, where he worked with faculty and guest choreographers across contemporary, classical, and modern repertory, choreographic creations, and technique. During his time at Juilliard, he appeared in two consecutive Guggenheim Works & Process programs.
Anson participated in multiple Merce Cunningham Trust workshops, receiving scholarships that supported his continued training in Cunningham Technique® as well as his work learning and performing Cunningham repertory. He also trained at Springboard Danse Montréal for two consecutive summers, working with international choreographers and companies.
In addition to his artistic training, Anson held several leadership and teaching roles at Juilliard. He was a Juilliard BFA Audition Demonstrator and Moderator (2015, 2016, 2017), he served as Head Resident Assistant and Teacher’s Assistant for the Juilliard Dance Summer Intensive (2014, 2015, 2016), a Juilliard Colloquium Peer Mentor (2014–2015), an Orientation Leader (2016), and a Diversity Advocate (2014–2015)
