Agostina D’Alessandro is a contemporary dancer, choreographer, and teacher based in Brussels since 2005. Known for her passion for choreographed ensembles, fluid body movements, and gentle stage presence, Agostina has developed a unique artistic vocabulary grounded in choreographic research and live music collaborations.

A significant aspect of Agostina’s work is the development of Conscious Release©, a method combining years of research in body mechanics, philosophy, movement theory, and a metaphysical approach to the body.

The Conscious Release© method aims to enhance dancers’ perception of their bodies by exploring the awareness of their own psychophysical states and capabilities. By becoming aware of internal spaces and releasing accumulated tension, it allows for a departure from established movement patterns and forms resulting from excessive conscious control of the body in motion, thus opening up new fields of creativity for the dancer. When establishing movement, the method focuses on principles of free fall and ballistics. It also explores different qualities of touch and how to effectively transmit and receive information about the direction and quality of movement. Using this technique, dancers create instant group miniatures, leveraging the body as an unlimited tool of imagination.

This method has been taught in Belgium, Mexico, France, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Argentina, Croatia, Portugal, Italy, Slovenia, and Spain. Her work on Conscious Release© was supported by research grants awarded by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles and Charleroi Danses in 2018 and 2022.
