Since our inception in 2014, HEWMAN has focused on presenting installation work in unconventional venues where the audience is free to move at will throughout the performance. HEWMAN's latest works set the challenge of creating for a traditional proscenium theater without sacrificing our main choreographic constant: to establish an authentic and close relationship with the audience that emphasizes the similarity between performer and viewer, not the difference. By applying what we have learned from our installation work to the stage, we hope to keep expanding the potential for equality and empathy between performers and viewers.

Almost (2019)

Almost, a solo HEWMAN made on Ingrid, investigates the dynamics of performance: What is it to see yourself? To be seen? To see others? To see others seeing you? The solo plays with those questions through the lens of being a woman, with varying degrees of deference and defiance to the stereotypes we all know. Like Accumulated and Revised and Anyone?, Almost is an excerpt of a work-in-progress that will be HEWMAN’s first evening-length piece made specifically for a proscenium theater.

Performer: Ingrid Kapteyn
Music: Mary Costa, Édith Piaf
