Nora Alami is a Moroccan American experimental artist and creative producer. Dance is her tool for conducting research, building community, and organizing politically. Her artistic projects join disparate realities through sensuality, embodiment, text, and materiality. Bringing together the personal and the conceptual with the absurd, she researches desire, alterity, and nostalgia for a sense of belonging never quite experienced. She has been awarded 2024 MANCC Forward Dialogues 3, 2023/24 CUNY Dance Initiative, 2022 Triskelion Artist Residency, 2021 BRIClab: Performing Arts Residency, 2021 JACK Artist Residency, and 2021 Rest and Restore at The Petronio Center, and the 2017/18 New York Live Arts Fresh Tracks Choreographic Residency,. Her choreography has been presented at LaMaMa Moves!, Danspace Project’s DraftWork series, Triskelion Arts, Houston Metropolitan Dance Center, Center for Performance Research, New York Live Arts, and Movement Research at Judson Church. She has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, River to River Festival, and toured with Jadd Tank at the 2018 Focus on Mediterranean Choreography platform in Italy. She holds a Masters degree in Performance Studies from Northwestern University. Nora loves to collaborate across disciplines, reach out to connect – thenoralami@gmail.com or IG: @noralami.
