Recalling collab with us

Working with Alice has influenced me as an artist/dancer, but also on a very personal level. For the first time, I have experienced an approach where I am experiencing a shift in thinking so strongly through choreographic and dance practice. For me, working with Alice is very poetic and political at the same time. In choreographic and exhibition practice, I appreciate that she is content to analyse principles and strategies deeply and unpack the mechanisms of how they work. Still, at the same time, she allows us to develop dance's intuitive and joyful components.
