EBT+Plus with Emma McGordon
After submitting to publishers for many years, Emma consistently receives feedback from editors that they are looking for a work that is “thematically linked”. Emma is currently exploring that sometimes our sense of disconnection is what connects us. The work is taken from various stages of her career and brings together the performed pieces that she has received the most feedback on from audience members who keep asking where can I buy your work. Emma plans to work with a dance artist soon to further understand how responsive movement, such as that seen in nature, can be the tie that binds the seemingly disconnected.
