Aina Alegre

Aina Alegre, dancer, performer and choreographer, is interested in choreographic creation as a field for “re-imagining” the body. She explores different cultures and body practices, understood as social, historical and anthropological representations.Fiction as a genre and cultural practice also feeds her work. She thinks of the body in fictional environments and works around notions such as hybridisation, plasticity of movement, the state of presence and the experience of time in order to generate bodies of images, ideas and concepts.She thus articulates choreographic objects constructed from different media: pieces for the stage, performances, videos.As a performer, she has collaborated with Alban Richard, Fabrice Lambert, David Wampach, Vincent Thomasset and Vincent Macaigne, among others.
