ALEXANDRIA NUNWEILER
Playing up her southern accent to get out of parking tickets, Alexandria/Alex/Allie Nunweiler moved to Boston to escape the heat of South Carolina and, of course, the conservatives. She is a dance maker, educator, and performer with the philosophy of “life is practice,” which she tends to cite as she makes a mistake. Overall, Alexandria’s sailor mouth is what gets her in trouble more often than not along with her inability to sit still.
Alexandria Nunweiler (BA Dance, Winthrop University; MSc International Business, Hult International Business School) is a collaborative movement artist rooted in somatic practices that utilize improvisation and yogic philosophy to play with large life questions. Her work explores formative beliefs, guilty pleasures, and the fine line between darkness and humor present in the human spirit. Through NunweilerTanz - her independent choreographic project - she immerses audiences in thought-provoking performances by outfitting contemporary dance with comedic theater and performance art structures that weave together truth and spectacle. Her work has been featured nationally in Philadelphia Fringe, BOOM Charlotte, Piccolo Spoleto, ArtBeat, and the inaugural Boston Fringe Festival, among others.
As a big believer in the village it takes to raise new ideas, Alexandria creates space in the studio for all beings to move, process, and be heard without hierarchy. She integrates these ideals in her roles as an Adjunct Professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, as the Director for Artistic Planning and Development at Dance Theatre of Greenville, and as a Founding Member of The Click. Recently she has been named a Boston Center for the Arts Dancemaker (2025/26), served as a dramaturg for Company One’s CoLab (2024/25), a recipient of the Next Steps for Boston Dance grant (2024/25), an artist in residence at The Rensing Center in Borseda, Italy (2022), and supported by NEFA, SC Arts Commission, Mass Cultural Council, and Alternate Roots.
