from the perspective of a movement specialist
DIRECTION
FIGHT AND MOVEMENT
Often brought into projects that have long sections of heightened physical action,
including prologues, movement pieces, or a scene that expresses the climax of dramatic action through violence or intimacy (see Intimacy Page), Alexis Black
directs these scenes with an emphasis on physical storytelling and responsible partnering, fitting the scene seamlessly into the production as a whole.

"With a set by Sarah Pearline that looks very much like the original Globe Theatre, and beautifully ornate costumes in layers of leather, lace, and velvet by T. Stacy Hicks, as well as exciting fight scenes with choreography from Alexis Black, it hits many of the right period notes..."
- Revue West Michigan's Arts & Entertainment Guide
"Truly every technical aspect of this production--among them, the gorgeously crafted sets, Isabella Byrd and Hared Mezzochi's ingeniously clever lighting and projection design, and the complexity of the flying and fighting choreography (Katie Spelman, Paul Rubin and David Leong [Assistant Alexis Black]) -- is top notch and on par with any Broadway performance."
"PETER PAN and WENDY is so awe inspiring in no small part thanks to the expansive
creative team. More than 65 people, from animal trainers, designers, animators, and musicians worked in tandem to bring this show to life."
