eni artist collective is a new york city–based nonprofit dance company founded by nicholas lamaina and ekko greenbaum. we are a collective of dancers, choreographers, and artistic collaborators dedicated to the art of movement and invested in making contemporary arts more accessible.
we prioritize collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity, inviting honest, inspiring artists with a palpable artistry to contribute to a shared and evolving vision for the art of movement.
as a company, we are committed not only to creating meaningful work, but also to building a sustainable platform where artists are uplifted, challenged, and amplified, all while inviting our community to experience movement honestly and without pretension.
who is eni?
the contemporary arts world is overflowing with talented artists, yet too often, opportunities are inaccessible or non-existent. eni artist collective exists to change that, providing a platform where emerging artists can express, create, and share through classes, residencies, resources, community, and performance.
our mission is to center the artist alongside the community, creating work that is meant to be shared and fostering a network of care and passion between artist and viewer.
eni artist collective believes that the arts are not for the few; they are to be shared widely and openly. movement and its adjacent arts are a life force. we seek to reintegrate the art of movement into everyday life as the human experience has become increasingly dulled by the conditions of our society. through our work, we seek to bring people back into their bodies and back to each other.
