About the Choreographer:

Alexandra Eady(She/her) dances in honor of those that have come before, the ones that are witnessing, and for future generations. She wants to first acknowledge her wonderful family, mentors, collaborators and students that give her energy and light every day. Alexandra is interested in creating and dancing choreographies that require a sustainable intensity and maintain a connection to story by being guided by our ancestors, something that requires a constant connection to the information that flows through our veins. Alexandra had the great privilege of practicing the contemporary dance technique of Yorchhā, created by Ananya Chatterjea. With Ananya Dance Theatre she has traveled nationally and internationally teaching and performing. In the summer of 2023 she had the opportunity to attend the Art OMI Dance residency and be in collaboration with 9 other dancers from around the world. Sharing, learning and creating together. In 2021 she received the Mcknight Fellowship for dance and worked in collaboration with Maria Bauman(MBDance) to perform a solo created by Maria as part of the “SOLO” Mcknight performance in Minneapolis. Alexandra teaches in a variety of settings across the Twin Cities. She is the chair of the dance department  at St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists and is on faculty at the University of Minnesota. Continuing this important practice of sustainability, she is the creator of Sustained Body, a Pilates and Holistic Movement practice that combines her dance training with other fitness and movement training practices.
