His recent commission, “If/Then,” premiered in November 2019 at the International Meeting of Dance Theater in Lublin, Poland and was selected for a tour as part of the Polish Dance Platform. In July 2021, he debuted “Skin Hunger” in Wrocław, which is now part of the Teatr Polski Wrocław's repertoire and received funding for U.S. tour in spring 2023. Currently, Mr. Alter is on tour with another new collaboration, “Skin Hunger Part II,” with Lux Boreal Compania de Danza in Tijuana, Mexico.
