Movement is a through-line and somatic embodiment has been about devised and improvised moments- one multidisciplinary cell at a time.
Alejandra’s language starts there: with movement and sound,
then Spanish, followed by English and Italian, French, ASL flirtations along the way. Peppered with musical theater, televised productions, sidewalk/ garden/ driveway shows and performances across many stages, (Tobar Alatriz)’s early education centered the arts as a guiding pillar.
The White Ivory studies (1998- 2002) were grounded by dance technique from around the world. For the last couple of decades, Alejandra (Tobar Alatriz) has been organizing, administering, and creating opportunity for allied, local artists- one local community at a time. She is a dancer playing with theater, healing arts, film, poetry, light and community.
Life is a gorgeous flow of movement in and out of patterns.
Upcoming projects:
+ Don’t You Feel it Too?: DYFIT? is the simple and beautiful act of dancing your inner life in public. It is a form of movement meditation that transforms the self while taking action in the world.
+ Choreography in community: co-devised intergenerational dance pieces
+ GSP embodiment circles for responsible leadership
+ Multi-disciplinary collaborations
Reach out if you’re interested in supporting and/or playing along. Like the soft moving boundary of the tide on the sand, dance is also theater.
