Alexandra Bodnarchuk - Dance Artist

Performing Art – Pittsburgh

Steel City native and current resident, Alexandra Bodnarchuk, is a dance artist currently choreographing CONNOTATIONS: unknown, a work based on her experience as an actor in Bricolage’s STRATA (2012). Her STRATA performance was described as having ‘a great sense of the subtle gestures necessary to experience the intimacy of a slow dance’ which ‘is why the Infinity Room was so effective’. She is very excited to be creating this work alongside many talented local dancers, artists and musicians, and looks forward to the premiere in Spring 2014. Alexandra has worked with Pittsburgh-based Attack Theatre in such capacities as: Intern, Teaching Partner, Special Assistant to the creative process (Soap Opera), dancer (The Dirty Ball) and most recently, Costume Assistant (Chalk Line ‘13). This past summer she had the pleasure of attending the Bates Dance Festival for the second time, studying under Nancy Stark Smith, Kathleen Hermesdorf and Bridgman | Packer Dance. Past BDF instructors include Carl Flink, Rachel List and Shonach Mirk-Robles. Alexandra is a cum laude graduate of Ohio University ‘12 with a B.F.A. in Dance Performance and Choreography and a B.A. in French.
