Meet Alex Mendes

A practice formed between bodies, places and disciplines.

Alex’s path between Brazil and Finland connects clinical care, movement research and relational learning.

01

Body and emotional process

Dance and Somatics, Formative Psychology and Massage Therapy built a concrete understanding of how bodily organization, emotion and development shape one another.

02

Relationship as a laboratory

Contact Improvisation became a practical field for studying attention, trust, boundaries, weight, cooperation and choice in real time.

03

From individual to collective

Studies in the humanities and organizations widened the work toward teams and institutions. Alex is the founder and a practitioner of Three Arches, while the practice remains larger than one personality.
