Alessandra is a freelance choreographer, performer and teacher based in Berlin.

Originally from Italy, after graduating in 2011 at the Hamburg Ballett School,  Alessandra has been working as a soloist in Theaters around Germany (including Staatstheater am Gartnerplatz, Gauthier Dance//Theaterhaus Stuttgart and Staatsballett Hannover). Her repertoire included works and creations by: Marco Goecke, Ohad Naharin, Sharon Eyal-Gai Behar, Jirí Kylían, Hans Van Manen, Medhi Walerski, Nadav Zelner, Mauro Bigonzetti, Helena Waldmann, Cayetano Soto and many others.

“The core of my creative process is the life itself: the pulsating essence of blood and flesh, the raw intentions, fears, and aspirations that reside within each of us. My focus lies in the shared human experiences that bind us, in the moments that touch our hearts and the courage to embrace vulnerability. My creative approach emphasizes storytelling that underlies gestures and actions, aiming for authenticity, tangibility, and vividness.”
