Aina Alegre

Aina Alegre, dancer, performer and choreographer, is interested in choreographic creation as a terrain for “re-imagining” the body. She explores different body cultures and practices, understood as social, historical and anthropological representations. Fiction as a genre and cultural practice also nourishes her work. She constructs choreographic objects from different media: stage pieces, performances, videos. Her work has been performed in several countries, including Spain, France, Greece, Belgium, Switzerland, Peru, Germany, Italy and Romania. Since January 2023, Alegre has been directing the Centre chorégraphique national de Grenoble, in tandem with performer Yannick Hugron.

Residency project

THIS IS NOT (an act of love & resistance) is a musical and choreographic piece for nine female performers: four brass instrumentalists and five dancers. Together they invoke different imaginaries around the air, through dance, music and the rhythm of the word. How is energy generated through this element and what is it to breathe together today? The performers move in the same way as the air moves and repeat in the same way as breaths repeat.
