‘I found the process of working with Emma as a lead artist inspired and without judgement, she finds the intricacies through a heightened awareness of political bodies and a knowledgeable approach to choreographic structure and outdoor, site specific practices.’
Amy Lawrence
My movement practice is guided by experiential anatomy, social and folk dances and experimental interrogation of boundaries (social-cultural, personal, temporary, tangible - see ‘Soft Edges’ as an example); informed by direct action. I work in a multitude of contexts, often outdoors and collaboratively, and I draw on matters close to my heart such as feminism, sexuality, climate justice, grief and the border crisis.
