dr. alina sokulska
A Ukrainian with Syrian roots, born in Kyiv, based in Barcelona, alina sokulska is a choreographer, dance & performance artist.
Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature and Performance Studies, MA graduate in Literary Studies, and having studied choreography at Conservatori Superior de Danza, Institut del Teatre in Barcelona, she is continuing her artistic research within the medium of movement.
Alina’s experience of choreographing live with jazz and improvisational music has shaped her movement language and pushed her to develop her approach to rhythm in dance improvisation and spontaneous composition.
in her work, she examines how power dynamics influence bodily representations and how the body, as a subject of tangible reality, can challenge and expand our understanding of the complexities within the current epistemic framework. These questions aligned her research endeavour in both in artistic and academic practices.
alina’s works have been recognized internationally and shown at leading music and dance festivals and venues in Europe, as well as art institutions.
