Alesya Dobysh is a professional dancer, choreographer and curator based in the Netherlands. She began her career in the street and club dance scene, where she cultivated a love for house dance culture, which has formed the basis of her artistic pursuits. She has been an active participant in the "battle" dance scene, winning main prizes at international events such as Summer Dance Forever (Amsterdam), Juste Debout (Paris), Random Circles (Frankfurt) and many others.

Her artistic practice is committed to experimenting with the fusion of subcultural backgrounds and unconventional forms of expression with performance art, theatre, visual art and sound art. One of her signature approaches is to deconstruct footwork-oriented techniques into an abstract language that she uses to choreograph her works.

Together with her collaborator, electronic music composer Max Frimout, she curates an interdisciplinary experimental project - Motus Sonus - that explores the relationship between movement, sound and space. Motus Sonus has been presented at 'De Fabriek' (Eindhoven, 2022), 'Windmill Perform' (Seoul, 2022), 'The Grey Space in the Middle' (The Hague, 2023), 'De Pont' (Tilburg, 2023), 'NP3 RE:Search:Gallery' (Groningen, 2024).
