Biography
Dominic Abella is a "movement artist made of multiform," an artist who built his reputation in the high-art dance world before transitioning to the screen. He established himself through rigorous research and communal artistic offerings in Lagos, moving seamlessly from street performances to international stages. His career reached a global scale as a representative dancer for the world-renowned QDance Company, led by Qudus Onikeku. This role saw him perform on approximately 10 international stages, bringing Nigerian contemporary movement to global audiences. His practice eventually led to a curated staged production with the Battery Dance Company (USA), a major milestone for an emerging African choreographer. In 2025, he was selected as a fellow for the INNOPRAKTIKA School's Choreography Session in St. Petersburg, Russia, where he refined his solo dance vocabulary. This professional depth is what led director Ema Edosio-Deelen to cast him as the lead in When Nigeria Happens, seeking his specific "unfiltered" physical intensity.
