Emma Fishwick

Emma Fishwick is a Perth based artist who lives and works on Whadjuk Noongar boodja (WA), exploring how choreography can produce extended gestures that traverses epochs, geographies, and persons, inflected by a spectrum of social agendas that colour the times the choreography inhabits. Between 2021-2024, Emma is conducting her PhD research, Slow Choreographies, which examines how slow creative methodologies can interrupt everyday sexisms in Australian universities. In 2022, Emma developed From Here, Together through Co3 Australia’s In Residence Program and received the award for OUTSTANDING NEW WORK | Slow Burn, Together at the 2022 Performing Arts WA Awards. This work was commissioned by Perth Festival in 2021 and was performed at His Majesty’s Theatre, Karboordup. In 2020, Emma was selected by Co3 to choreograph a 360’ VR film for the Revelations Film Festival and XR:WA FourbyFour project at the Gallery of Western Australia. Other notable works include Dance, Quiet Riot (2018) and microLandscapes (2016).
