Regarding the director

Knighted in the Order of Arts and Letters in France, Carole Alexis is an internationally recognized choreographer, director, and pedagogue. As a Creole choreographer, Alexis draws on the various sources of her rich background with the effect of breaking boundaries in the creation of new possibilities for artistic expression. Raised and trained in Martinique, Brittany, West Africa, and Paris, she developed her unique choreographic signature in her exploration of themes in music, the complexity of emotions, the environment, nature, history, and human interaction. Alexis believes that art, as a kind of universal consciousness, expresses the infinite possibilities of humanity.
