Emily loves investigating the pedagogy of all elements of theatre. She believes that exploring theatre history from a world perspective is more important than just studying Western theater. Emily also believes in exploring acting through a physical lens, rather than just a psychological lens.

As a theatre artist, Emily is drawn to many different areas of theatre and loves to continue to explore those areas. Specifically, she is drawn to movement which includes all styles of dance, intimacy direction, and stage combat. She also very much enjoys directing both plays and musicals.
