Kyiv born, Barcelona based, Alina Sokulska is an international dance artist, choreographer, performer, instructor and researcher.
Through the inspiration, deep research and more than 12 years of practice of jazz, social & urban dances, in a mix with contemporary dance techniques and movement research concepts, Alina's style crystallized as one with strong presence of footwork, body isolations, sophisticated musicality & abstract storytelling. Her improvisation approach to dance has formed out from her experience of collaborating with jazz musicians and performing with improvisational music live, with her dance language getting influenced and shaped by its structures & principles.
Currently Alina is collaborating with the top dance and music events, music bands, working on experimental performance scenic pieces, as well as sharing her methodology with her group Giant Steps for professional and amateur dancers. As a choreographer, she is refining her craft studying at Conservatori Superior de Dansa (Institut del Teatre) in Barcelona.
Alina is a founder and curator of Evolution Solo Weekend, a festival and a platform for education in social dances, and is currently finishing her doctoral research on performance art at University of Barcelona's Comparative Literature department.
For Alina, dance is a tool, not a purpose. An ephemeral embodiment of the cycles of life, where the body as a dynamic subject, captures a moment that is constantly changing.
