Cody Lauren

"UPGRADE" Recently I realised that this is the time to do everything. To live out your dreams, to create, to dance, to do everything I have been telling myself to do "when I grow up". Growing up is not about waiting to have the time, saving up the money or looking out for the next opportunity. It is waking up and telling yourself that the world is at your feet and there is nothing in your way. Thanks for watching! • Choreo: me Film & Edit: @orangeginger.works MUA: me Music: Upgrade - @jessiemurphhh • #dancersofinstagram #dance #dancer #acrodance #choreographer #codylauren

Aletta de Musical: een lesje geschiedenis én een nog altijd actueel verhaal over de arts en feministe Aletta Jacobs (1854–1929). We spreken met Cody Lauren, de energieke dancecaptain en ensemblelid van het gezelschap. Cody vertelt ons hoe die de noodcoverrepetities leidt en wat er allemaal gebeurt wanneer er een castlid wegvalt. Aletta de Musical speelt op dit moment door het hele land!

"aletta" • I had the chance to learn so much these past weeks, it went up and down, left and right but landed where it needed to be. I have grown so fond of all these new faces and their energy and want nothing more than to start a new part of this wild adventure together. Premiere: check. Tour shenanigans: here we f***ing come! • To the amazing choreographer that trusted me to assist him with this one, I can never thank you enough. Your trust in me was the greatest gift. To be the assisstent choreographer and part of the cast was the ultimate challenge as well as the biggest joy. • Aletta De Musical is in theatres until June '26. • @juliettedgroot

"to relinquish" ◇ So yes, this post was overdue...apparently running a company is a full time job that does not leave a lot of space for social media. Regardless, I think about this show and all the support I received from everyone involved while curating it every single day. It is one of the highlights of my career. Some days I still cannot imagine it was real. ◇ Eternally grateful, happy and so ready for the next step. Which is coming sooner than you think. I can't say much but...Nate will be back soon. ◇ 📸 @silhong 📍@korzotheater 🎨 @confusiondancetheatre

"there was sun" ▪︎ After graduating I stepped into a crazy wild ride of a career journey. With so many insane opportunities, ups and downs, dance, music and freedom. And in all that craziness I forgot to remind myself of the one thing I told myself when I received my degree: "take a break, and get back out there stronger". Needless to say, no break was taken, no rest was had and it did not do me any favours. So yes, I needed this trip! And it wasn't anything fancy. Didn't fly halfway across the world or took a bunch of perfect photo's in my favourite shorts. Just took 2 weeks to recover, get my colour back and reset my brain. I recommend it. And now I'm back, back to work, back to life, back in my brain and happy to be there. ▪︎ I feel like I say this all the time but...amazing things are coming again! 2025 has been awesome and it's only going to get better. If you need me, I'll be in rehearsal. ▪︎ 🖤
