Emilie Gallier is a choreographer researcher who lives in Leiden (The Netherlands).
She recently completed her practice-as-research PhD from the Centre for Dance Research (Coventry University),
in which she develops the idea and practice of reading (documents/documentation) in and as performance (Reading in Performance, Lire en Spectacle)
Beside her choreographic practice, Emilie works as a tutor for THIRD: 3rd cycle artistic research programme
at DAS Graduate School Amsterdam. She is a guest teacher/mentor at art schools and universities in the
Netherlands and abroad (Fontys, Leiden University, PEERS Zurich). She
publishes
in peer-reviewed journals (a.o. Performance Research), and co-edits dance books
(ongoing De Nieuwe Dansbibliotheek, Notebook Series). She is co-founder of
Les Minieres in Normandy (France), at the intersection of regenerative
agriculture and performing art practices.
In 2022, Emilie Gallier joins the Erasmus+ project Extraordinary Dances (Dance and Handicap)
with the Leiden-based group Domino.
