Alejandra Benet led a community dance project in Skånes Dansteater between February 2024 and June 2024, involving a group of 5 women of different ages. Over the course of this project, Alejandra led an artistic process with them that resulted in a dance film and a performance piece premiered in Malmö Konstmuseum on 2nd June 2024, both named Brick by brick. It was of great importance for Alejandra to create this work collaboratively, letting everyone's voices be heard and tapping into the innate potential within each of them. The work originated from the question how to manipulate and interact with bricks through movement.

Brick by Brick presents the interaction of 5 performers centered around a literal and figurative cornerstone of our society, the brick. An object full of meaning, a symbol for the collective tapestry of human co- existence. The term “collectivism” stresses the capacity of human beings for collective action, stressing their willingness and ability to pursue goals by working together rather than striving for personal self- interest. Through an interplay of movement and metaphor, themes like individualism, conflict, collaboration, fragmentation, and construction emerge naturally in the performance, conveying an array of symbolic readings.
