Lois Alexander is a Bay Area-born, Berlin-based choreographer and performer. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from The Juilliard School and was a recipient of the Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon Fellowship at The Ailey School.
Alongside her career performing with European companies and choreographers including Saarländisches Staatsballett and Christoph Winkler, she has developed her own choreographic practice. Her work is informed by somatic and movement-based research, with particular attention to embodiment and bodily agency.
Her choreographic debut, Neptune (2020), was selected for Aerowaves Twenty21 and toured across Europe. Her work has been presented in the Netherlands at Julidans and Moving Futures Festival. In 2020, she received the AFK 3Package Deal.
In Berlin, Alexander has continued to develop her choreographic practice through commissions and institutional support. In 2022, she premiered Yeye, co-produced by Sophiensaele with funding from the Berlin Senate for Culture. In 2023, Ballhaus Naunynstraße commissioned Eventually Causing the Shake, which she performed throughout 2024 and 2025. She received the Tanzpraxis grant in 2022 and again in 2026.
Alongside her choreographic practice, Alexander has taught and lectured at ArtEZ University of the Arts, Utrecht University, and Tanzhaus Zürich, among others.
