A dance artist, creator, and producer, Alexis danced with Ballet BC for 14 years and was subsequently a guest artist and Artist in Residence. Alexis took on the role of Ballet BC Rehearsal Director in April 2025 and she now holds the position of Artist in Residence at Vancouver’s Chutzpah! Festival and is a Creative Hub member at Presentation House Theatre. Her creations have been supported by Dance Victoria, Ballet BC, Canada Council for the Arts, BC Arts Council, Presentation House Theatre, New Works, Vernon Performing Arts Centre, The Gordon Smith Foundation, Dancing on the Edge, InFrinGing Festival, and Shadbolt Centre. As a freelancer, she is currently dancing with Re:Naissance Opera, zoe | juniper, and Wen Wei Dance.

As a dance artist Alexis is fascinated by how exploring the movement potential of the human body becomes a way of accessing the inner landscapes of our spirits and psyches, and this is the primary motivation behind her physical practice and choreographic interests. She believes that dance is a unique vehicle with which to share, research, and discuss our humanity. As a creator Alexis is drawn to intimate, cross-disciplinary collaborations with like-minded creative spirits, and her works strive to create a powerful and tangible connection with her audience.

After graduating from Arts Umbrella’s Post-Secondary Dance Program and student company in 2005, Alexis began her long and inspiring journey with Ballet BC under the Artistic Direction of John Alleyn.

After Emily Molnar took over directorship in 2009, Alexis was privileged to be one of the core group of dancers who, with her, were part of building Ballet BC into its new direction, sharing their work on world stages including Sadler’s Wells, Jacob’s Pillow, Canada’s National Arts Centre, The Joyce Theatre in New York, BAM, Movimentos Festival, Teatre Grec, among others. In her time with the company, she had the opportunity to work with distinguished choreographers and designers, and to be a contributing artist on numerous creative collaborations. She worked closely with Crystal Pite, Emily Molnar, Johan Inger, Stijn Celis, Jacopo Godani, Medhi Walerski, Fernando Hernando Magadan, Serge Bennathan, Gioconda Barbuto, John Alleyne, Cayetano Soto, and Jorma Elo, among others.

As an independent artist Alexis has worked collaboratively with creators such as Vanessa Goodman, Sidra Bell, Dario Dinuzzi, James Gnam, Simone Orlando, Rob Kitsos and Wen Wei Wang.
