What people have to say about Alexandra:
photo of Beller by THE GINGERB3ARDMEN
"Alexandra Beller’s exhilarating choreography endows the production with momentum and visual flair. "
TheatreScene.Net on Fandango for Coyotes (and Butterflies)
“It is always good to see an artist pushing at awkward, deeply felt realities, and Ms. Beller does so with a generous spirit…her choices are smart, including her fine dancers. They slide with aplomb between comic-pathetic exchanges and Ms. Beller’s full bodied, voluptuous choreography.”
— The New York Times
Krisanne Johnson for The New York Times
"Alexandra understands how to create a theatrical experience that resonates on a human level with the audience. She has deep intelligence and sensitivity, expertise with movement/dance/the human body and their variances, an ability to analyze text, and a desire to push boundaries and to learn more about people, cultures and the world around her."
Antonio Suarez, Director, Actor, Playwright
Alexandra has the ability to toggle between many different techniques: pure dance – yes, complicated neuro-muscular pathways – yes, profound and active somatic structures – yes, sensitive emotional tactic based work – yes. Her facility with different forms of composition and direction/choreography are all based on meeting the performer where they are at and putting their needs first before an overriding sense of artistic authority.
