In 2024 Alina debuted with «GETTING OUR WONDER SMASHED» at the Schwere reiter and will create a new dance piece in Munich in autumn 2025.  

Her belief in collective support and resource-sharing is evident in her advocacy for the dance community. Alina´s work not only delves into the physicality of movement but also engages with the inherent ways in which dance generates and communicates knowledge. This approach involves a deep exploration of the intersection between the existential and knowledge aspects of dance.

By intertwining the corporeal and the cognitive, she creates a space for dance that is not only aesthetically compelling but also intellectually resonant.
