Emilie Gallier is a choreographer researcher based in the Netherlands. She recently completed her artistic PhD from the Centre for Dance Research (Coventry University), with the support of the THIRD research group at DAS Graduate School (Amsterdam), in which she developed the idea and practice of reading (documents/documentation) in and as performance (Reading in Performance, Lire en Spectacle – the solitude of reading merged with the collective nature of an audience, 2021, http://post-cie.com/texts.php). Emilie works through dance and choreographic practices in multi-modal and multi-disciplinary settings. She develops performances, publications, edible documents, visceral practices, dances, dreams, conversations, and peer exchange within spaces of the stage, the page, telephone, and studios. Her interests are at the intersection of experimental performing art practices, poetic documentation, the act of reading as a gesture of participation (through withdrawal and absence), imbricated imaginations, entangled ecosystems, living soils. Her continuous engagement with artistic research as a ‘bookworm’ who nibbles scores and other documents, as a researcher, practitioner, collaborator, peer, tutor, and implicated spectator, shapes her immanent attention and experience with formats of writing and publishing. Informed by dance, she moves with the unwritten, which thrives in the written, and she attends to what practices do. Emilie is a tutor at DAS Graduate School, guest teacher at art schools and universities in the Netherlands (ArtEZ, Fontys, Leiden University). She also publishes in peer-reviewed journals (Performance Research), and co-edits dance books (ongoing with De Nieuwdansbibliotheek).
