Stephanie Hewett is a choreographer, movement researcher, performer, and teacher from the Bronx, New York (Lenape territory). She is a graduate of Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and the Performing Arts and has studied at the Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London. She holds an MFA in Dance from Mills College and was recently on faculty at the College of San Mateo. Her movement-based performance work aims to highlight fluid identity and reimagines the future as a site of rebirth. Her current research entails navigating performance through injury, pleasure frequencies, and excavating ancestral vestiges in the body.
About this Project
/soft/c/ embraces the multidimensionality of pleasure. By examining the contrasts of marginalized bodies against a broad spectrum of hegemonic normative constructs, /soft/c/ creates critical, nuanced musings on fluidity, intimacy, queer futurity, blackness, and power.
