Alessandra Corti

Alessandra Corti is an Italian choreographer, performer, and dance teacher based in Mainz.

She graduated in 2001 from the Civica Scuola di Teatro Paolo Grassi in Milan and, in the same year, moved to Germany, where she continues to live and work.
Over the past two decades, she has performed and choreographed at major state theaters including Bremer Theater, Oldenburgisches Staatstheater, and Staatstheater Mainz, collaborating with renowned choreographers such as Garry Stewart, Guy Weizmann & Roni Haver, Ina Christel Johannessen, Omar Rajeh, Ann Van den Broek, Koen Augustijnen & Rosalba Torres, Jo Strømgren, Alexandra Waierstall, Sharon Eyal, and Wen Hui.

Alongside her performing career, Alessandra has developed a distinctive choreographic voice. Her work explores storytelling at the intersection of reality and fiction, weaving autobiographical themes with a strong collaborative dialogue with performers and artistic partners.

She creates for both companies and the independent scene, with works ranging from solo pieces to productions for young audiences. In recent years, she has choreographed for tanzmainz, BallettCompagnie Oldenburg, Theater Wrede+, Schauspielhaus Essen, Theater Oberhausen, and Teatro Libero in Milan. In June 2025, her latest creation AEREA premiered at the Volksoper Wien, commissioned by the Vienna State Ballet.

Alessandra holds an MA in Contemporary Dance Education and teaches at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts.
