Alex’s training began in the 1970’s at the London School of Contemporary Dance and continued with an apprenticeship with Carolyn Carlson at the Theatre de l’Opera in Paris. Her first dance company was formed in Hong Kong and later, returning to London, she was involved with the people and places which now make up dance history – X6, Riverside Studios, Rosemary Butcher, Mary Fulkerson, and many other pioneers of new dance in the UK.

Throughout her career of choreographing and performing she has had long associations with The Old Fire Station Arts Centre and MOMA in Oxford, Prema Arts Centre and Artspace at The Guildhall in Gloucestershire and several venues in Bristol, most notably the Bristol Botanic Garden. She has created and performed many dance works including Lightdance, (Purcell Room, London South Bank Centre, Brno, Czech Republic), Of Plants and Personalities and Hot Border (Bristol Botanic Gardens) and The Fugitive Gaze (WWT Slimbridge, UK).

She initiated and curated the New Dance Festival in Oxford, The Curator's Eggs project for artists and performers in the Stroud Valleys, Glos. and was a seminal member of the IF group, an independent forum of dance makers across the South West region.

She was a visiting lecturer at the London Contemporary Dance School from 2008 to 2014.
