Alexis is currently co-creating an improvisational dance work utilizing time, care, energetics, support and their relationships to privilege, audience, and bodies as material. As a group they are challenging formality, meticulously crafting consent, and searching for honesty in choice-making. Alexis is currently working with Amelia Heintzelman, Rebeca Medina, Claire Gieringer, Ross Daniel, and Rebecca Gual with lighting by Joshua Boliver.
Alexis Zaccarello is a Texas-born dance maker, improviser, and visual artist residing in Brooklyn with Italian, Mexican, and white identities. Her practice questions form through improvisation--a process born out of desire to deconstruct typically white ways of learning to dance. She has spent her life studying codified forms of dance, and has grown increasingly troubled by the limiting aesthetics and structural hierarchies that continue to pervade these forms, ways of moving, and ways of dance making.
