Alexandra Vostokova

Alex is a dance artist, emerging choreographer and director working across live performance, improvisation and film as well as teaching in Ireland. Over the past 4 years she has been awarded from Arts Council, DLR, and Dance Ireland to further creation and artistic development.

 

Her work to date has been curious about dance as an incredibly resilient artform as well as movement that isn’t ‘perfect’ but rather coming from an emphasis on the fact that this is such a communal medium. Alex’s more recent projects are influenced by contemporary dance, krump acrobatics and physical theatre practices.

 

She performed her first solo work ‘3 Sides to Shuji and why he’s all alone again’ in 2021 at Irish Youth Dance Festival and screened her film ‘Tasting an Organised Dream’ at Dancer from the Dance Festival and Light Moves Festival in 2023. As a dancer Alex performed in ‘Within This Party’ by Stereo 48 Dance Company in France and Belgium in 2023 and in ‘Palimpsest’ with CoisCeim Dance Theatre early this year. She has worked with companies such as Liz Roche, John Scott, Catherine Young, Junk Ensemble, Simone O’Toole and Pan Pan Theatre.
