Who is Alyssa: Alyssa Martin (she/her) is a choreographer and director based in Tkaronto. She’s using an absurdist approach to bake imaginative coping mechanisms into celebratory homemade spectacles. Bluring dance, theatre and comedy from an anti-patriarchal perspective, she founded a company called Rock Bottom Movement in 2012 alongside friends/collaborators. Their works play with irreverent winks at modern dance and have been shared in seasons and festivals ranging in size throughout the country and abroad. Outside of Rock Bottom, Alyssa has choreographed for Toronto Dance Theatre, The Stratford Festival, Tarragon Theatre, Canadian Contemporary Dance Theatre, and in residence at arts centres including The Banff Centre, Canadian Stage and The National Ballet of Canada (CreativAction). Public Energy is presenting the world premiere of her latest work with Rock Bottom Movement, Sex Dalmatian, on February 17 at the Market Hall.
