Dancer,
painter, and teacher, Alexandra (b. 1976) hails from Bratislava,
Slovakia.
A graduate
of Bratislava’s Arts High School and its University of Arts, she
passed Slovakia’s rigorous state certification examination for
teachers. After service in the Slovak Army Dance Corps, Alexandra embarked on her “world tour.”
She has
since performed in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Greece, Austria,
Germany, the US, and Indonesia. Modern, ballet, folk, salsa, kecak…
Alexandra is a true champion of eclecticism in her art.
Indonesia’s
traditional dancing left an indelible impression on Alexandra’s
style, as did the native art. A painter from early childhood, while
living in Bali she began experimenting with the use of Bristol/India
ink. She has since developed her own distinctive style, employing
the fluid lines and bright colors of South Asian painting.
She has
shown her art at the Austrian Institute in Bratislava and at the New
York International Film Festival.
While
living in Bali and in India, Alexandra became adept at Ashtanga
Yoga. This physical/spiritual discipline has since informed her
dance and her painting.
Basing
herself in New York City since 1998, Alexandra has continued to
pursue her geographical and spiritual explorations. She teaches Yoga
and dance - and she paints. |
