What becomes possible when we stop treating the body as secondary to thinking and instead let it lead?
My background spans performance, choreography, facilitation, leadership, and strategic collaboration.
The connective tissue of my work is creativity as a lived, embodied process — exploring how ideas emerge, how language is felt, and how tuning into the body can offer new and nuanced insights.
We’re living through a moment that demands we rethink what it means to be human. Yet we continue asking exhausted minds to solve increasingly complex problems.
When we engage the body, we expand what becomes possible.
Possibility comes to life through the embodiment of an idea.

My favorite projects come from sparks of imagination and curiosity, followed by someone in my network saying,
"We need Emily on this project!"
Here are sample sparks of curiosity:
At our next fundraising event, how can we engage attendees in an embodied experience of the mission?
How can we infuse a feeling of movement into the language we use in our communications?
How could we bring physicality and joy to our next team-building experience?
How can creativity function as infrastructure within our organization?
Where are the untapped leverage points within arts and cultural ecosystems?
I have a creative process for answering these questions and work either as a consultant or with the team to bring the answer to life.
I’m a highly creative, multifaceted thinker with an entrepreneurial spirit and a dyslexic brain that allows me to perceive systems, patterns, and possibilities in dynamic, interconnected ways.
Dance is my research method, storytelling tool, and lens for seeing the world differently.
