An alumnus of Morehouse College, he began his dance training in Atlanta, Georgia through cross-registration with Spelman College’s Dance department. His academic and creative formation in “the cradle of the Civil Rights Movement” has influenced his artistic direction as he creates thought-provoking, social conscious art to heal and help transform the world.

His Fulbright research culminated in the production of a documentary dance short film entitled, “Don’t I Belong”. This documentary explored improvisation as a generative modality to uncover the impact of black male identity on participants sense of belonging in the UK. “Don’t I Belong” premiered in the 2023 London International Screen Dance Festival.

Additional creative accomplishments include 2022 Dance Canvas and Atlanta Contemporary Art Museum Choreographic Residency, commissioned work with Emory University’s School of Theology and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, performance in the 2023 festival, Duo Solo Danse, in Saint-Louis, Senegal, and writer for Blake Arts’ Melanin Migration: The Journey, premiered in Leicester, United Kingdom at the 2023 Let’s Dance International Frontiers.

His most recent dance accomplishment is receiving the Professional Advancement in Dance Award as an ensemble dancer at the School at Jacob’s Pillow in the Dunham Legacy Revisited Program under the direction of Reginald Yates.

In addition to his work in dance, Alexander has worked in higher education as a program director and coordinator of several flagship academic programs and initiatives. He currently sits on the Board of Governors for Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance as the student representative for the faculty of dance. He seeks to continue working in creative and educational spaces to uplift the stories and experiences of marginalized and displaced communities to invoke compassion and action toward social healing, transformation, and change.
