Alessandra is a Creative Producer based in the UK. Her interest and passion cover the wide range of cultural interactions between East and West, which also include artistic experimentations in dance and performance, with a special emphasis on improvisation. She is also focused on concepts related to ‘Otherness’ such as cultural stereotypes, boundaries and gender. Her practice often focuses on social and political issues.
Alessandra graduated from Northern School of Contemporary Dance with a Master’s Degree in Dance & Creative Enterprise. She developed her communication skills studying Arabic Language and Culture, French and English. She graduated with a BA in Oriental Languages, Literatures and Cultures from University of Bergamo (Italy) with a thesis on ‘The representation of Moors in Early Modern English Theater’.
After her MA at NSCD, she’s been Assistant Producer Intern for Mobius Dance, supported by Artistic Director Gianluca Vincentini. She’s also been Assistant Producer for Alleyne Dance, Uchenna Dance, Alesandra Seutin | Vocab Dance and Uprise Rebel. Alessandra has worked for Studio Wayne McGregor as Artistic Co-ordinator and is now looking for the next steps to advance in her career.
‘The MA helped me shape my career in a new and creative way. Being a Creative Producer is something I never thought about before starting my training at NSCD. This includes all my interests in Dance but I am always looking for new interests and challenges. The MA at NSCD gave me a space and time to reflect on my practice and what I really wanted to say in the Arts Industry. It gave me a chance to meet incredible Artists and to consolidate a network I will always bring with me!’
