Emily Laursen

Emily Laursen is based in Narrm and graduated as a member of the 2020 cohort at the VCA. Emily is concerned with improvisation that can occur over a long duration of time. Emily engages with writing which aims to steal movement potential from the body and place it elsewhere in an attempt to view the dance. Emily was a member of Yellow Wheel from 2015-2018, in which they worked with Israel Aloni & Lee Brummer (‘Reset’, 2018) and Philip Adams & Gregory Lorenzutti (‘Paradise’, 2018). Emily created their own work titled ‘People in the Kitchen’ in 2018 and was a performer in ‘Dark Points’ by DIANGLE in 2019. Emily was the recipient of the Philip Adams Award in 2020 and seconded with Philip Adams and Deanne Butterworth in 2021.
