Emily has an interest in dancing with people who face social isolation and life limiting illness which has led her to deliver in a range of diverse settings. Her artistic practice is centred around connection as she aims to bring people together via creativity and physicality, over and above social and cultural divides. She has presented her artistic work and research findings in France, Netherlands, Russia, Ireland and England, and travels widely in order to deepen her understanding of different cultures.

Emily graduated with a BA (Hons) degree in Performing Arts, Culture and Communication from Oxford Brookes University, receiving the Keith Andrews prize for excellence in Performing Arts.
