Marguerite Hemmings

Marguerite Hemmings is a performance artist, educator, and social practitioner currently based in Philadelphia, USA. They focus on one's own body, one's own way of moving, and connecting to the unseen. As a choreographer they specialize in emergent, improvisational and social movement styles and technologies, rooted in the biomythography of the African Diaspora. They are researching the ancestral and subversive role of dance/dancer/trickster throughout the African Diaspora and look to conjure these technologies through all of their (present) work. Marguerite uses body, text, media, and moving images in their work.
