TEACHING

Emily has extensive experience as a teacher & practitioner leading classes & workshops for dance & theatre companies, educational institutions, organisations, community groups & as part of her own independent practice across the UK for over 15 years.

This includes touring & teaching packages (Cscape, Kneehigh, Freefall), site based projects (WildWorks, Cscape, Simon Birch, Hall for Cornwall). She has been an Associate Lecturer of Dance at Falmouth University since 2010 & worked for two of those years as a part-time member of staff.

Across all of her teaching practice Emily explores her physical & performative experience across dance & theatre, using an evolving combination of set exercises & improvisational play, technical precision & the imagination as a tool to train the body & mind, to affectingly expressive capabilities. She holds the space for people to be seriously playful, curiously risk taking & to work deeply & freely to discover untapped potential. Emily leads professionals through to untrained novices.

She has taught company class for WildWorks, Cscape Dance, Freefall Dance, Panta Rei Danseteater & Shabana Jayasingh & in 2019 began exploring her on-going choreographic practice through her Immersive Imaginations Workshop Series.
