Alexandra Light: June 19th
Alexandra Light is a choreographer and dancer who integrates a ballet background to shape contemporary work that questions and redefines tradition. After over a decade as a principal dancer with Texas Ballet Theater, she is now focusing exclusively on her choreographic practice, which has been presented at venues and supported by residencies through the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Frank Lloyd Wright Martin House, Jacob’s Pillow, the Battery Dance Festival, the Ailey Citigroup Theater, and more.
Her choreographic work centers on themes of feminist history, environmental memory, and layered identity, drawing from her academic background in psychology and her ongoing commitment to social practice. Alexandra has created both solo and ensemble work for film, stage, and site-specific settings, often collaborating with composers, designers, and non-traditional dancers. She brings this multifaceted approach to her teaching—prioritizing thoughtful musicality, anatomical care, and expressive exploration—while encouraging dancers to stay connected to both the clarity of form and the depth of feeling.
