HELLO, I’M EMMA LEWIS-JONES (LJ), AN ARTIST AND FACILITATOR WORKING ACROSS INSTALLATION AND PERFORMANCE.
WITHIN COLLABORATION I PROVIDE: MOVEMENT DIRECTION, REHEARSAL DIRECTION, DANCE DRAMATURGY, WORKSHOP FACILITATION AND HOST POST SHOW DISCUSSIONS.
AS A FACILITATOR I WORK WITH A PERSON-CENTRED ETHOS AND AM DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING PEOPLE TO REALISE THEIR OWN CHOREOGRAPHIC POTENTIAL.
AS DANCE DRAMATURGE I BELIEVE PASSIONATELY THAT CRITIQUE CAN BE A FORM OF CARE. I FOSTER A RIGOROUS GENERATIVE PROCESS THAT UTILISES MY DRAMATURGICAL TOOLS FOR CORPOREAL AND CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT DURING DEVISING STAGES.
MY TRAINING IN CHOREOGRAPHY (BA FALMOUTH) AND IN FINE ART: PERFORMANCE (MA, GSA) UNDERPIN MY CREATIVE PRACTICE TODAY, WHICH TALKS TO THE AESTHETICS OF EMERGENCY, QUEERING RITUAL AND GRIEF; THROUGH DANCE, INTERVENTION/TRESPASS AND INSTALLATION.
MY REPERTOIRE IS INFORMED BY FIFTEEN YEARS OF SOMATIC EMBODIMENT RESEARCH, FOLK, SOCIAL AND CONTEMPORARY DANCE TRAINING.
AS A NEURODIVERGENT FACILITATOR WORKING COLLABORATIVELY IN A MULTITUDE OF CONTEXTS, I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT ACCESS, ADVOCACY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
I AM BASED IN GLASGOW. I ALSO WORK IN LONDON, NOTTINGHAM AND THE PLACES IN BETWEEN AND AROUND..
