I am a choreographer, director, and somatic educator whose work bridges dance, theater, and embodiment. I teach and lecture internationally on creative process and the Laban/Bartenieff System.
Podcasts have become an extension of my teaching and creative work—spaces where I can explore the questions at the heart of choreography, somatics, and artistic pedagogy in conversation with others.
These are some of the themes I’m most often invited to speak on.
Embodiment as Creative Compass – How somatic awareness (listening to breath, weight, tension) can guide artistic decision-making.
Reframing the Inner Critic – Transforming self-judgment into curiosity and creative agency, for both performers and teachers.
Feedback Without Harm – Building rehearsal and classroom cultures that nurture growth without manipulation or abuse.
Beyond Productivity – Challenging capitalist metrics of “success” in the arts and cultivating sustainable, presence-driven practice.
Laban/Bartenieff for Everyone – Applying movement analysis tools beyond choreography: in directing, leadership, even daily life.
Creative Cycles – Balancing rigor and play, instinct and analysis, throughout a project’s evolution.

“Alexandra was a wonderful guest
to have on the KeyBARD podcast.
We had a broad conversation
about her personal story
as an artist, some key projects, her
book, and her creative process,
among many other things.
She’s immensely creative,
thoughtful, culturally competent,
and articulate.
Great guest!”
