DANCERS : BIOGRAPHY
Alisia Pobega, Demi-soloist
“Nothing is more inspiring than to see a work, whether it be sung, danced, painted, written, spoken... that is honest and done with integrity. When a person's true soul can be felt through their art, that is so profound. I often try and draw on things that I have seen or heard that have struck me by their simple honesty and apply them to how I dance.”
