A bit of Emilia...

Originally trained as an actor and violinist, Emilia works across movement, theatre and music, collaborating with artists and projects from a wide range of disciplines and cultural backgrounds.

Her practice is rooted in rhythm, embodied listening and ensemble connection. As a movement director and intimacy coordinator, she approaches the rehearsal room as a space for curiosity, clear communication and shared discovery, creating physical languages that emerge from the particular needs of each story and creative team.

❋ Intimacy coordinator

“My work in intimacy coordination grew from a desire to make physically and emotionally demanding material clear, repeatable and sustainable. It has developed through consent-based training and practice across theatre, musical theatre and opera.”

❋ Movement Teacher

“I began teaching movement in Chile and later deepened my pedagogical practice through my MFA. My sessions combine guided exercises, open exploration and space to reflect, allowing learning to feel both focused and fluid.”

❋ Movement Director

“Movement direction emerged naturally from my background as an actor and musician. I work with rhythm, composition and physical detail to help each production discover a movement language that belongs to its particular world.”

❋ Violinist

“The violin was my first artistic training and continues to shape how I understand timing, phrasing and ensemble relationships. It remains part of my performance practice and my ongoing research into movement and musicality.”

  • "Beyond her artistic skills, Emilia is an outstanding collaborator. She balances artistic ambition with practical problem-solving and understands how to work effectively with performers, directors, stage management teams and fellow creatives. She listens carefully, communicates with clarity and empathy, and creates an environment in which artists feel both challenged and supported. These are qualities that cannot be easily taught and are increasingly valuable in contemporary theatre-making."

  • "A consummate professionalism coupled with an approachable and open style. She was her authentic self in the space, but also had the ability to hold the room as a leader. She is a skilful teacher, but also has the ability to work collaboratively with the students when that is required. She managed to engender a playful and joy-filled approach to the work that belied its depth."

  • "Emilia has excellent attention to detail which was applied to the work she engaged with for everyone in the company; this includes, discussion on given circumstances physical awareness, character intentions along with qualities to be considered when working as a group. Emilia has a fine eye for staging and the distribution of individuals within the space."
