choreographer, dancer, teacher....Originally from St. Paul, MN, Alyce began her career in movement studying dance and competing as a gymnast from an early age. She discovered her love of modern/contemporary movement and theatricality while attending Hamline University where she studied art and communications theory, and performed with the university's theatre department. She has performed with many influential choreographers and companies in Minneapolis, Washington DC and New York City, most notably as a dancer and guest choreographer with the avant garde ballet company Ballet of the Dolls, where she danced in over 20 original ballets and co-choreographed two evening length works with artistic director Myron Johnson. Her dance training includes scholarships from the Cunningham School in New York, and with the Cullberg Ballet in Stockholm, Sweden by invitation from the artistic director Lena Wennergren Juras. Alyce began choreographing in 1994, developing a uniquely creative and theatrical style which has been noted for its "sexiness and intelligence" by the New York Times, and for "a fierce fluidity in performance and brooding surrealism in the choreography" by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Her work has received numerous grants and awards, including support from the Jerome Foundation, the 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Project, the Walker Art Center, the MN Dance Alliance, the MN State Arts Board and the Weisman Art Museum. Alyce has also worked extensively for film, music videos and fashion as both a dancer and choreographer.
