SHOP is on again!
and we welcome our newest addition to SHOP teachers and welcome back a former Stomper, Emma Porteus
here’s a bit on the lady…
Emma Porteus is an independent dancer, choreographer and teacher currently based in Melbourne. Emma began her contemporary dance career in 2001 with Stompin, performing in Placement as part of the inaugural 10 Days on the Island Festival. After completing her degree in Contemporary Dance at Deakin, graduating with distinction, she undertook and completed her Honours research into the collaborative process. This is a continuing interest of Emma’s, and she constantly is drawn to new experiences that help her further her research. In 2004 Emma created and performed in the Melbourne Fringe Festival show Lamplight verses the Moon, which was selected to be part of the Graduate Showcase at Dancehouse. In 2005 Emma was asked to co-choreograph Tasdance’s education project Microscope. Later that year she was assistant director on the community project Dance Path, held at Dancehouse. In 2006 Emma choreographed for Stompin as part of the Outback Fringe Festival in Roxby Downs and also choreographed the 2006 education project Dry as a Bone for Tasdance. She recently finished co-choreographing and performing in Tasdance’s Illuminations3 and is currently co-choreographing Tasdance’s education project White Light.
