Biographies

Alexandra Mihaela Dancs and Vlad Benescu, independent artists with diverse backgrounds in contemporary dance and the performing arts, have been collaborating since 2022.
Their work uses choreography to explore the dynamics of relationships, balance, somatic movement, and the influence of digital culture on artistic expression, through interdisciplinary formats. Their creations have been presented in venues, contexts, and festivals of contemporary dance and performing arts such as Galateca, NAG at /SAC @ Malmaison, Casa Kerim, TNB, Control Club, the National Theater Festival, Bucharest Fringe Festival, Dans.Context.Showcase, Neo Art Connect Festival, Moving Balkans 2026, and Dance Week Festival.
Together they have created the performances Luați de VAL…s (2022), Somatic Freaks 1.0 (2023), Tura de noapte (2024), Somatic Freaks – Revoluția Proprioceptorilor (2024), and triluREELu (2025).
Alexandra dances in works by artists such as Florin Flueraș, Rui Catalao, Vava Ștefănescu, Doris Uhlich, and Florin Fieroiu; she creates solo projects and co-creates dance performances with Mădălina Dan, Urvi Vora, Cosmin Manolescu, and Andreea David, among others. She creates choreography for theater productions, in which she also dances and acts. Since 2019, she has been singing and dancing with pj.lo & the accidentals, a musical performance project by Jean-Lorin Sterian.Alexandra received the Award of Excellence for her contribution to the development of Romanian contemporary dance, presented by the National Center for Dance in Bucharest (2014), as well as the Special Jury Prize for physical expressiveness at the Bucharest Fringe Festival (2024).
Alexandra and Vlad were danceWEB fellows at the ImpulsTanz festival in Vienna.
Beyond his own artistic dance and theater projects, Vlad performs in works by Mårten Spångberg, Valentina de Piante, Alexandru Berceanu, and Inger-Reidun Olsen, among others. He is a unicycle acrobat, juggler, and actor, and creates lighting designs for theater and dance performances. Vlad earned his Ph.D. in Theater and Performing Arts with the thesis New Technologies in Contemporary Performing Arts.
Their collaboration is a continuous exploration of what inspires, moves, and intrigues them, always with a playful spirit and a taste for risk.
