she/they
Tamara Alegre works with dance and choreography. Born in Gran Canaria, they studied European Business and Psychology and worked as an underground music curator, dj and tour manager until 2016.
In 2018, she obtained an MA in Choreography at DOCH, Stockholm and premiered FIEBRE, co-signed since 2019, with Lydia Östberg Diakité, Marie Ursin, Nunu Flashdem and Célia Lutangu. The work has been presented in several venues in Europe and won the Young Choreographer's Award in 2021.Their research revolves around sensual embodiments, fictions on sexuality/sexual organs and liminal physical states as choreographic tools. Her works are embodied and charged with resistance, intensity, self-pleasure and the power of dancing together.
Tamara has a growing passion for Dancehall and questions how to position themselves as a white person having access to black culture. As well as how to navigate between their work and Dancehall. The combination of working as a dancer, making work, hosting workshops and being involved in collaborative practices is essential for her.
