‘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 2018
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.
