Alexa Solveig Mardon is a dancer, performance maker and facilitator co-creating and seeking spaces for imperfect ritual, queer fantastical myth-making, and multi-sensorial solidarity across difference. Alexa is a first generation settler of Finnish and British Isles descent living as an uninvited guest on the illegally occupied, unceded Coast Salish territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. Alexa’s work takes forms including stage performance, poetry, movement workshops for frontline support workers, dreamwork + prophecy practices, and teaching professional and non-professional level dance classes. Studying inherited and learned practices of divination through carromancy, dousing, and dream opening, Alexa practices listening and receiving with the other side.
