About Moderator –Alexa Wilson-New Zealand
I am an experimental choreographer, performance artist, video artist, writer and curator from New Zealand based in Berlin 10 years. My works range from solo performance art projects, which are are often political and relational (immersive/interactive) to commissioned group choreographies and video projects either directed or collaborative, also political, interdisciplinary and layered. My work while inherently feminist in its underpinnings, relates to intersectional politics inclusive of different themes.I am interested in activation as a form of socio-political healing, embodying difficult and contemporary themes from subjective and multi-dimensional perspectives. I work with paradox, as a generative space for activating hidden “truths” within our societies, with the aim to make space for new understandings. Humour is also present.

My artistic work is motivated by a desire to spend much of my time dancing and a willing sense of social and political responsibility. In this way, my choreography asks: What’s Dance Got To Do With It?
I have lived and worked in Berlin since 2013.
