dirac Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Q&A with Emily Coates. Quote With a background in dance, followed by writing and speaking, how did you make the transition into film, and what was that transition like? EC: I started out dancing professionally at 15, and eventually needed to begin making my own work and finding my own voice to augment my presence as a mover and performer. Writing was key to this transition for me. I’ve taught a ‘dance on film’ course for many years that looks at their intersection from the late 19th through the 20th century, and it was time to jump in myself. Link to comment
