Woodlene Alexis is an actor, visual storyteller, educator, and healing arts practitioner whose work explores identity, embodiment, transformation, and the ways we return to ourselves.

 

Her creative path began in education after moving to New York City through the New York City Teaching Fellows program. A series of unexpected casting opportunities soon opened another world, leading to national and international campaigns for brands including Coca-Cola, Disney, Amazon, IBM and Starbucks, and later to television, film and voice work.

 

Over time, Woodlene’s artistic practice expanded beyond performing in front of the camera. Photography, travel, writing and visual storytelling became ways of documenting people, place, memory and transformation. Her work increasingly examines what happens beneath the roles we perform — and what remains when we begin remembering who we are.

 

Following an extended period of personal recovery and travel, Woodlene trained in India in Yin Yoga and sound healing. That experience deepened an existing interest in embodiment, stillness, nervous-system awareness and contemplative practice, and now informs an emerging body of wellness and interdisciplinary work integrating movement, sound, storytelling and place.

 

Whether she is performing a character, photographing a subject, teaching, or guiding a quiet practice, the thread is the same: creating space for people to see, feel, remember and reconnect.
