From the Artist:
Currently in development, SALVAGE is a megachurch service that is often derailed by deep reflection, farces, and fights. The performance creates a macro world out of the microexperiences found in true stories, sacred and secular texts, Christian school handbooks, and Bible parables. It blends contemporary dance, theater, and song to amalgamate complicated relationships to past selves, present community, and an eternal God — toeing the lines of blasphemy and salvation while carefully maintaining a reverence for the divine and the ability to laugh at diametrically opposed messages. Throughout the show, we probe the sexism, capitalism, nationalism, and fundamentalism present in the faith structures in order to better understand how we study, vote, and worship. SALVAGE’s closing benediction ultimately provides solace through love, selflessness, and empathy for Christians, ex-believers, and those who are somewhere in between.
About NunweilerTanz
NunweilerTanz - Alexandria Nunweiler’s independent choreographic project - immerses audiences in thought-provoking performances that weave together truth and spectacle by equipping contemporary dance with comedic theater and performance art.

About the Artist
Alexandria Nunweiler (BA Dance, Winthrop University; MSc International Business, Hult International Business School) is a collaborative movement artist rooted in somatic practices that utilize improvisation and yogic philosophy to play with large life questions. Her work has been featured nationally in Philadelphia Fringe, BOOM Charlotte, Piccolo Spoleto, ArtBeat, and the inaugural Boston Fringe Festival, among others.
Because she believes in the village it takes to raise new ideas, Alexandria creates space in the studio for all to move, process, and be heard without hierarchy. She integrates these ideals in her roles as an Adjunct Professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, as the Director for Artistic Planning and Development at Dance Theatre of Greenville, as a Founding Member of The Click, and as a teaching artist in a variety of programs in the greater Boston area. Recently Alexandria was chosen as a Dancemaker resident at Boston Center for the Arts (2025/26), served as a dramaturg in Company One’s CoLab (2024/25), received the Next Steps for Boston Dance grant (2024/25), and completed a residency at The Rensing Center in Borseda, Italy (2022).
