Born in Martinique, Carole Alexis grew up traveling,
studying, and working between Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
In consequence, her composition of different cultures manifest
itself continuously through her art sharing with the audience
the sense of an attachment to universal values. After receiving
an artistic formation at the SERMAC, created by Aimé Césaire
and directed by Jean-Paul Césaire, with consciousness
of her heritage, she studied in Africa in the school of Maurice
Bejart (MUDRA), created by Leopold Sedar Senghor and the
UNESCO. Due to these choices, today her musical and choreographic
creativity is imprinted of a particular resonance.
Her group “Osmoses,” was a highlight of the
FESTIVAL des FRANCOPHONIE DE NEW YORK, organized by several
embassies, representing Martinique and receiving a very warm
ovation. “Osmoses” is appreciated in great clubs
such as: S.O.B’s, Joe’s Pub, Satalla, Sugar Bar,
etc. Her philosophy and her artistic performances are firmly grounded
in the assurance that culture is a vehicle for the affirmation
of our identity, a value that she takes from the teaching
and the legacy of the three founders of the Negritude movement,
Aimé CESAIRE, Leopold SESAR SENGHOR, and Leon GONTRAN
DAMAS, “Fathers of the Negritude.”
She believes that art is a tool to express, propose, and
communicate the infinite possibility of humanity. She also
believes that the artist must be a citizen living in the
state of consciousness and should be a platform for cultural
action leading to a reflection on the possibility of social
change. |
