Alexandrina Hemsley

Alexandrina’s background in contemporary dance and choreography informs her continuing interest in embodied, intersecting and multiple narratives as soft resistance to objectification and reductive representations. The forms her artistic work takes frequently morph in order to present her concerns within shifting frames and contexts. She makes dances, videos, self-produces and writes a bit too. The work she makes aims to reclaim and celebrate her identities as a mixed-race woman & tries to engage with the various cultural frameworks that mark her body on her own terms. Alexandrina’s practice is collaborative and interdisciplinary which she sees as a way of keeping knowledge active and open. She collaborates with Jamila Johnson-Small on Project O and also works with choreographers Helena Webb & Rosie Heafford on Dad Dancing currently co-produced by Battersea Arts Centre. She has collaborated with artist Katarzyna Perlak on photo series Bounty Bars & Oreo Cookies and is currently making a new ‘Afrofuturist’ duet with Seke Chimutengwende. As a performer, Alexandrina has worked with a range of artists. Her writing practice finds its home on Feminist Shakedown. Since May 2016, she has been an associate at The Yard Theatre and was co-programmer for their festival of new performance NOW17. In May 2017, Alexandrina became a Chisenhale Dance Space board member.
