Alexander Zendzian

Dancer

Alexander's exploration of movement has led him on a broad survey, ranging from classical ballet to improvisation, into vertical spaces and onto the streets. Alexander moved to San Francisco in 2001 after completing a BA in Cultural Performance Studies at The Evergreen State College in Olympia Washington. He has since performed with Capacitor, Anna Halprin, Motion Lab, at the Half-Machine Festival in Copenhagen, Denmark and is a participant in the Sea Ranch Collective. Alex was very excited to be a part of the dancing adventure of Project Bandaloop. Alex is currently a member of the Joe Goode performance group and the Brass Menazeri.

Cranes in Mumbai

March 8, 2010
From Vancouver where I am working with Julia Taffe's Aeriosa dance company on the public library, I want to say a word about Mumbai. Our Whirlwind trip there was fantastic and we put together a show on the Maker Maxity buildings and on two cranes for an event March 6th. The dancers rallied from the couch to perform amazingly in three separate pieces. During rehearsals on the cranes, a couple of women construction workers in bright saris with their two tiny daughters on hand, grew big smiles seeing their American sisters show such courage and beauty. Between wonderful aromatic meals and walks on the Juhu beach, the company worked hard to make our first Mumbai show fantastic. All in a weeks work.
