Her research explores our environment and the consequence it has on our identity. She is driven by socio-cultural issues as well as surrealism, and an interest in dance interacting with other mediums: in particular, live music, voice and film. Alex is curious about dance as an incredibly resilient artform as well as the fact that It’s such a communal medium. She is influenced by contemporary dance, krump, acrobatics and physical theater practices, as well as being interested in community engagement, leading workshops with Dance Theatre of Ireland, Dublin Youth Dance Company and the MA program at University of Limerick.

Alex has made several creations for the Irish Youth Dance Festival and screened her film ‘Tasting an Organised Dream’ at Dancer from the Dance Festival and Light Moves Festival in 2023.

Last year she was appointed associate artist of Dance Limerick with her current research and this year she’s been commissioned to create a short work by CoisCeim dance theatre.

As a performer Alex danced in ‘Within This Party’ by Stereo 48 Dance Company at Theatre de la ville in Paris and was part of their residency at the Lyon biennale de la danse in 2023 as well as performing in ‘Palimpsest’ with CoisCeim Dance Theatre early last year.
