Aina Alegre

ATDAWN: Drawing inspiration from the choreographic, political, and community dimensions of Mediterranean bands (“los pasacalles”), fanfares, marching bands, and New Orleans Second Lines, this residency places brass band music at the heart of the creative process [Supported by] FUSED, a program of Villa Albertine and Albertine Foundation.

As a choreographer and dancer, Aina Alegre has been creating shows and performances in a wide variety of formats since 2010.

She sees choreographic creation as a way of opening up imaginary worlds around the body. Through dance she explores different relationships to the collective body, and her choreographic work is conceived as an 'orchestration' of movement, sound, light and space. For several years, her writing is as much choreographic as it is musical. Through her creations, Aina Algre also conducts research into the notions of memory and archive that run through all her work.
