ALESYA DOBYSH
Trio x Motus Sonus (working title)

From 2024, Alesya will be attached to DansBrabant as PLANmaker. For the next three years, she will work on the further development of her experimental project Motus Sonus, an interplay between movement, sound and architecture.

at Trio x Motus Sonus (working title) together with electronic music composer Max Frimout and House dancers Marina Pravkina and Noëlle Vosman, Alesya explores the connection between movement, sound and space.

This special collaboration culminates in a choreographic concert, where dance and live music challenge each other as equal forces. Sound comes not only from instruments, but also from the dancers themselves: their movements are amplified, distorted and transformed through innovative technology.

By playing with rhythm and silence, making movement audible and manipulating dance sound, new choreographic forms are created. Forms that effortlessly adapt to diverse architectural and acoustic spaces without losing their essence.

This performance goes beyond the boundaries of traditional theatre and actively seeks dialogue with unexpected locations. The result is a flexible, immersive experience that embraces both the precision of choreography and the freedom of improvisation.

Alesya comes from the (Russian) street and club scene, where she developed a love for house dance - a club style emphasising the combination of articulated footwork and heavy flow. She won awards at international battle events such as Juste Debout (Paris) and Summer Dance Forever (Amsterdam). Alesya's work exists by the grace of the here and now. She knows how to link improvisation to thoughtful phrases.
