Alice Weber is a dance artist working with choreography, performance and discursive outputs. Using and misusing her various training backgrounds across classical ballet, somatic practice and critical dance studies, Alice’s work considers contemporary embodiments and intimacies, through questions of agency and desire.
Alongside her practice, Alice is an academic tutor at Australian College of Physical Education; dance curriculum developer at Disrupt Dance; and teaches at a number of dance studios across Sydney as a ballet instructor (RAD/ATOD/open). Alice gained her MFA in Choreography from Laban in 2018, as a Leverhulme Scholarship recipient. She recently started a PhD at University of Sydney with a University Postgraduate Award.
Alice lives and works on unceded Gadigal Land.
