I’m Alessia Gardenal (she, they), I am a saxophonist and I work with contemporary music, free improvisation and performance such as movement, voice and theatrical action, I’m beginning also to explore composition.

My artist practice starts from a necessity, I started as a very shy and restricted body and performance evolved with me. It’s a need for personal and social liberation and community building. I don’t yet know everything I want to tell, but art and performance are a journey of discovery, constantly transforming.

It’s beautiful and scary the intensity that the performance practice is making me go through, My practice is strongly based on collaboration with other artist, other musicians, performers of every kind, visual and graphic artist. 

Listening to each other with sounds and somatic practices it’s a wonderful way to connect and to share,
so hit me up if you wanna play with me! ;)
