I am Alyssa Lisle, a contemporary dance artist based in Newcastle upon Tyne. My practice is deeply rooted in the belief that dance should evoke joy, empower individuals, and enhance connection. Whether in performance, facilitation, or direction, I’m driven by a passion for creating accessible, inclusive experiences that invite people to embrace the freedom that movement offers.

Dance allows me to connect deeply with myself and others while offering the space to disconnect when needed. I describe my classes as a ‘holiday in a body’ because to me, dance is not just physical—it’s a chance to escape the noise of everyday life and tap into something electrifying.

Over the last 10 years, I have based my practise within Newcastle, building a diverse portfolio and working collaboratively with regional and national companies. I continue to challenge myself and grow as an artist, constantly exploring new ways to evolve my practice and share the transformative power of movement.
