Alyssa is an interdisciplinary artist, vision rehabilitation therapist and orientation and mobility specialist based in Brussels and New York City.

artist

Alyssa makes solo performances that research the formal possibilities and political implications of choreographing a singular body in space. As an improviser, she works with episodic memory to develop maps of affective embodiment, described as “equally disturbing and impressive.” She is currently experimenting with performative modes of co-habilitation, approximation, and time travel - topics emerging from the last 2 years of artistic research in Rīga and Brussels. Her creative process integrates dance, choreography, interactive media, and scenography. learn more
