Amrita Hepi (b. 1989, Townsville of Bundjulung/Ngapuhi territories) is an artist working with dance and choreography through video, the social function of performance spaces, installation and objects. Utilising hybridity and the extension of choreographic or performative practices, Hepi creates work that considers the body’s relationship to personal histories and the archive. She has toured extensively in both theatres and galleries throughout Australia, Europe and America.

In 2020 she has joined Rising's (formerly Melbourne Festival) Council of good ideas as an artistic advisor. Amrita is a Gertrude Contemporary artist in residence and is currently working with Kaldor projects/Serpentine UK as a participating DOit artist.

In 2019 she was a commissioned artist for The National: New Australian art 2019 and was the recipient of the dance web scholarship to be mentored by Anne Juren, Mette Ingvarsten and Annie Dorsen.

In 2018 and again in 2020 she was the recipient of the people's choice award for the Keir Choreographic award and was also named one of Forbes Asia's 30 under 30.

Amrita trained at NAISDA and Alvin Ailey NYC.
