Founder Alexandrina Hemsley started Yewande 103 as a container for her established creative practice and to formalise and expand her values of care, support and connection. 
​
Our current season (2023-2025) converges around processes of change.

Following the devastating experiences Founder and Creative Director Alexandrina had losing her baby son in 2021, Yewande 103 partnered with doula lilli Chambers (SWOLE) and South East London Local Maternity and Neonatal Services to run a pilot workshop series for women and birthing people who have experienced pregnancy and baby loss.

From Autumn 2024, we will be expanding this offer with regular grief circles for people who have experienced pregnancy and baby loss.

Coming up in 2024-2025, we are working towards a new live, intergenerational work, Many Lifetimes. Performed in the round, Many Lifetimes will centre dynamic themes of change, building upon our company wide themes of embodiment, loss & repair. In Summer 2024 we spent two months at Dance City developing & previewing the piece. We are excited for what is to come this Autumn.

It is only a dance
It is only an everything
Body shining, shining, shining through
