Stephanie Hewett (she/they) is a Bronx-based interdisciplinary artist whose work emerges from a play-based movement practice within an investigative framework. Hewett has produced movement-based performance work in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2017, upon earning her MFA in Dance from Mills College. She has shown work as an independent artist in residence at Counterpulse in San Francisco and the Paul Dresher Ensemble in West Oakland, exploring themes of fluidity, performance navigation through physical injury, Black music as a site of liberation, and embodied ancestral knowledge and wisdom. As a queer, Black, Afro-Diasporic artist with roots in the Carribbean, her work is inevitably rooted in emancipatory practices. In sharing performance work, Hewett aims to deepen curiosity around the Black American experience by focusing on the sonic, somatic, and spiritual manifestations of Black freedom through a variety of improvisational structures and cross-disciplinary experimentation. She DJs and produces electronic music under the moniker, Madre Guía.
