Stephanie Turner is a choreographer, performer, and educator based in Providence, Rhode Island.
Her work explores the functional and expressive possibilities of movement, cultivating educational and performance spaces where experimentation, curiosity, and risk-taking can thrive. Contact improvisation has been the framework for her embodied research, integrating movement principles from dance, improvisation, and martial arts practices that allow structure and spontaneity to coexist.
Inspiring collaborations include Arc Iris and HDC Dance Ensemble in the production of iTMRW, Katie Mcnamara, Olase Freeman, and Michelle Bach Coulibaly.
She has taught as an adjunct lecturer at Brown University, Salve Regina University and as a teaching fellow at Hampshire and Smith College. As the founder/director of The Movement Exchange and as an independent artist, she has produced many dance and theater events.
