In this episode of the Dance Maker Podcast, host Michele Painter sits down with choreographer and performer Emily Green to discuss her piece Blue, first created in college and recently revived for the Small Plates Choreography Festival in Newburgh, NY. Emily reflects on her evolution as an artist over the past decade, sharing how her relationship with her body, performance, and audience connection has shifted with time. The conversation explores themes of collaboration, vulnerability, and the fleeting yet powerful nature of live dance. Emily also offers insight into her current projects and her passion for creating work that embraces intimacy, playfulness, and human connection.
