Alina Belyagina

Alina Belyagina is a Munich-based choreographer, performer, and facilitator working across dance, theatre, and visual culture. Born in Ukraine and raised between West Siberia and Berdychiv, she shapes a practice around displacement, multilingualism, and feminist dramaturgy.

Her work moves through a hardcore method that fuses movement with sound, text, video, fashion, erotism, and post-internet aesthetics. The result is a choreographic language that is raw, sensual, and politically charged — where the body becomes a site of memory, tension, and transformation.

Belyagina’s work has been shown internationally at Karachi Art Council, Want to Dance Taipei, Laos Contemporary Dance Festival, Euro-Scene Leipzig, Tanzwerkstatt Europa Munich, Arena Festival Erlangen, Soar Festival Kristiansand, and On Bodies Cyprus. She has received support from Kulturreferat Munich,  Chanel Culture Fund, Goethe-Institut , and Impulstanz DanceWeb, where she was awarded a scholarship supported by the Tanja Liedtke Foundation.

She has held residencies at CN D Pantin, Pianofabrieken Brussels, Schloss Bröllin, and others. Working between Munich, Hamburg, and Eindhoven, her recent works include Hold me/Обійми (2022), Getting Our Wonder Smashed (2024), and the current project Giving back the Blessings, which brings Slavic folk background artists into dialogue with feminist dramaturgy, hardcore methods, and non-linear structures.

Her practice is shaped by queer ecologies, sensory theory, and collective exchange - building performances that sit between intimacy, subculture, and sharp conceptual form.
