Stephanie McMann is a London-based movement director, choreographer, and dancer with over 15 years of experience in film, television, commercials, live performance, and theatre. Her work emphasises a cross-disciplinary approach to movement, combining the study of human behaviour and the expressive potential of physicality across diverse artistic platforms. Her work exists between a vigorous emotive quality and the simplicity of human behaviour, both in developing movement vocabulary and choreography.

Stephanie’s career has involved longstanding collaborations with prominent creatives, including Alexandra Reynolds and Charlie Mayhew. Her work in film and television includes notable projects such as The Acolyte (2024), The Sandman (2021-22), His Dark Materials (2019-20), Blood Moon (Game of Thrones, 2019), and World War Z (2013) amongst others. She has worked with production companies including Netflix, Disney, Warner Brothers, BBC, Riff Raff films, Object & Animals, plus many others. Stephanie also appeared in Suspiria (2018) with Damien Jalet, with whom she has collaborated on multiple projects, including Jalet's work with designer Hussein Chalayan. Her commercial work includes choreography for brands such as Meta, the Variety award nominated Smirnoff campaign, We Do Us, and has coached/directed for multiple music artists including Rubberband Girl.  

Stephanie has worked closely with actor and director Mackenzie Davis on her directorial debut WOACA as movement director. She has also collaborated frequently with photographers Emli Bendixen and Camila Greenwell on a variety of independent and commercial projects. In theatre and live performance, Stephanie has toured extensively across the UK and Europe, performing and collaborating with artists such as Oona Doherty, SERAFINE1369, Deborah Hay, Eleanor Bauer, Theo Clinkard, Seke Chimutenwende, Roberta Jean and Jules Cunningham. She is also a dancer and co-artistic director of the dancer-led commissioning project, Nora, alongside Eleanor Sikorski and Flora Wellesley Wesley. She has served as a freelance Rehearsal Director with many artists/dance companies across the UK including Scottish Dance Theatre and is a former Sadler’s Wells Summer University artist (2015-18).

Stephanie has just been on a UK tour with the band Billy Nomates, touring a solo piece Drop In for their 2024 sold out tour Undergrowth. 

Currently Stephanie is Associate Choreographer on Elektra working alongside Choreographer Annie-B Parson and Director Daniel Fish. Elektra starring Brie Larson will premier in early 2025.
