Alanna Kraaijeveld is a dance artist who performs, improvises, instructs and creates. Her approach is centered on context driven, collaborative, unstable and improvisatory practices. She makes room for both simplicity and blurriness in her art.
With 20 years of experience, she continues to be a sought-after collaborator in the performing arts milieu. She toured internationally in various works by choreographer Dave St-Pierre from 2012-2018. She was a company dancer of now defunct Le Groupe Dance Lab, under the artistic direction of Peter Boneham, from 2004-2008. Le Groupe was an international centre devoted to the research and development of contemporary dance. Now ubiquitous in the contemporary arts milieu, the model of ‘the Lab’ was one of the first of its kind, established in 1988. Since 2015, Kraaijeveld studies with Linda Kapetanea and Jozef Frucek, developers of movement modality Fighting Monkey Practice. She shares her love and appreciation of movement across various communities including dance, theatre, sports, and at-risk youth.
