A dance artist, creator, and producer, Alexis has danced with Ballet BC for 14 years and subsequently has been a guest artist and Artist in Residence. Now independent, she holds the position of Artist in Residence at Vancouver’s Chutzpah! Festival, Dance Victoria, and Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. Alexis is a member of the Creative Hub at Presentation House Theatre. As a dance artist, Alexis is fascinated by how exploring the movement potential of the human body becomes a way of accessing the inner landscapes of our spirits and psyches, and this is the primary motivation behind my own physical practice and choreographic interests. She believes that dance is a unique vehicle with which to share, research, and discuss our humanity. Alexis acknowledges, with gratitude, her privilege to be working and creating on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples: Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
