Alexandra Caprara is a queer interdisciplinary artist from Toronto, Ontario whose practice is grounded in performance making and design for dance and theatre. She is the director and creator of Ultra Violets. As an artist, her practice centers movement and design lead creation, with a focus on the interactivity between performers and design technology, often treating her designs as an extension of the body, and the choreographic score of her work. Throughout her career she has worked internationally as a director/ creator, performer, and designer for lighting and video projection, and has presented her work across Canada alongside companies such as WorkMan Arts, New Works Dance, Theatre Replacement, High Performance Rodeo, and GoodWoman Dance. Her most recent dance work, “Ultra Violets”, premiered at IndieFest in 2024, with a lecture and excerpt of the work also presented at the Prague Quadriennille Technologies Symposium in 2024. Additional credits include the direction and creation of “EVREN” (Edinburgh Fringe Festival); lighting design for “Song from the Uproar" (City Opera Vancouver); and projection design for “A Silent Howl” (Dancing on The Edge; Convergence Festival). She also recently presented at the Prague Quadrennial “Technologies” Symposium, where she presented her research and innovative design lead practices used to create Ultra Violets. She currently resides in Vancouver where she recently completed her MFA in interdisciplinary arts at Simon Fraser University.
