Inertia

Emily, who began her circus adventures at the ripe age of 8, now has over 20 years experience in the circus world under her belt. Inspired by all forms of physical theatre, and as an alumnae of Ryerson University's Acting Program, Emily has a great passion for storytelling and developing characters through movement. In 2009, she co-founded Hercinia Arts Collective as a means to combine her passions into creative, theatrical circus work. Recently, Emily has also been exploring the aerial world through the lens of a camera, creating experimental films that combine aerial dance, narrative, and sometimes animation, with partner Evan DeRushie. Past film collaborations include Akasha, C is for Circus and benched.
