Alexis Vinzons is a Brooklyn-based freelance dance artist from Mamaroneck, NY. Her artistic practice is rooted in improvisation as both a methodology and philosophy, taking an anatomical approach that treats the body as the primary site of exploration and using honesty, spontaneity, and care as essential lenses for engaging with dance. She is a facilitator of Emergent Improvisation, a practice crafted by Troy Ogilvie and Omar Zubair, held regularly at Gibney Dance Center and Peridance Center. As a performer, she has collaborated with Yang Sun & Poets, TAQ Dance, Emergent Improvisation, and others. She holds a B.A. from Cornell University, where she studied Information Science, Art History, and Dance. @a.vinzons

Alexis is creating a short-form dance work, titled solace, which will premiere at THAT SHOW on December 12, 2025, at The Gym at Judson Memorial Church in New York City. This work is the second installment of a trilogy that takes place in the Landscape of Memory—the first was a short-form quartet titled Pieces of Forgetting, which premiered in June 2025. The third installment will be a full-length dance performance titled "States of Forgetting," which will premiere sometime in the future! The funds of this fundraiser will go towards paying dancers a living wage and paying rental fees for studio space.

I am dreaming of a world where I can compensate my collaborators a fair and living wage, without submission to institutions to decide if my art is worth their dollar. If you have the capacity to give, please do.

Alexis is joined by a lovely team of artistic collaborators:
