Alexis Convento & Artists

Alexis Convento & Artists A contemporary modern/improvisation dance project & company based in NYC. I like to give myself and others choice, and the ability to make that choice.

Through our sense of contemporary movement, Alexis Convento & Artists become available to moments of freedom through willingness and action. Our company recognizes both gestural and athletic phrases, fluid transitions, and instinctual qualities through choreography and improvisational score. We are interested in the evolution of artistry by melding dance with sensory and texture in order to create

a high level of integrity during the process on and off stage. During the creative process, there is a high level of collaboration with my artists, whether it be writing descriptions in order to derive movement from text, or facilitating task-oriented work with an essence of choreography. It is vital in a sense; I am more interested in honest movement that comes from an internal and comfortable place, in order to find discovery and new positions in oneʼs own work. Choice is important in order to create work from an organic place, to give oneself a “surprise” aesthetic to work and the process of it, and to find a sense of freedom within dance and movement.
