Artists in residence
Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

Theater
Alexandra Déglise is a French-American performing artist from Martinique who grew up in Martinique and studied in mainland France and the United States. Specialized in movement theatre, she trained in the United States at the Terry Schreiber Studio in New York from 2008 to 2014 and received her Master of Arts in Theatre from the University of Virginia in 2016. She was a movement teacher at T. Schreiber for four years and a professor of theatre at the University of Virginia for two years. She lived and worked in New York City for 12 years as an actor and Wall Street reporter (for France 24, Europe 1, France Televisions and CNBC Italy).
She has performed in numerous productions in the United States, including Summer and Smoke (Virginia Rep); Luv, (Heritage Theater Festival); 9 parts of Desire, A Midsummer Night’s Dream (The Helms Theatre, UVA Drama), The Blue Room (Theater Production Workshop, NYC). Also trained in Butoh theatrical dance in Japan with the Dairakudakan company under the direction of Akaji Maro, she participated in the Golden Show in Nagano in July 2016.
Back in Martinique in 2018, she was hired as a choreographic artist by the company Art&Fact for Au Nom du Père (April 2019 – Tropiques Atrium), before starting the adventure Pourvu Qu’il Pleuve as an actor (Tropiques Atrium and co-production of the ATP in France) the same year under the direction of Astrid Mercier with DIMWAZELL’CIE.
She is the artistic director of the polyglot theatre company, DALA CompaNY, which aims to create links and bridges between the territories of the Greater Caribbean and America.
In 2020-2021, she is a springboard artist in residence at Tropiques Atrium, a national stage, for the writing of her first play Les Îles de Raphaël. This text won the Jamais Lu Caraïbe in 2021 and was read for the first time in North America at the Jamais Lu Montréal festival in August 2021. It won third prize in the ETC Caraïbe 2021 competition and was staged in numerous readings, notably at the Festival d’Avignon 2022, both in and out of the festival. The research and creation work continues in order to reach a production in 2023 with the help and support of the DAC Martinique, the CTM, Tropiques Atrium, national stage of Martinique and creation residencies at the Chartreuse – CNES in September 2022 and at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris, from October to December 2022.
Driven by a strong desire to pass on her work, Alexandra Déglise gives theatre workshops in English and supervises writing and directing workshops in numerous high schools from 2019 to 2021. She is also in charge of movement and vocal development classes for Tropiques Atrium’s theatre training in 2021-2022.
