Emilio Wettlaufer

Emilio Wettlaufer is a Guatemalan-American dance artist based in New York City. His work recognizes the body as both a poetic and political force capable of holding contradiction, intimacy, and resistance. Emilio has been a choreographic resident at the Hier Jetzt Platform in Munich, DE, and a 2025 LiftOff Artist at New Dance Alliance.

As a performer, Emilio has participated in the 17^th International La Biennale di Venezia Dance Festival under the direction of Wayne McGregor and at venues such as Hauser & Wirth, REDCAT, LA Dance Project, and the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. He has additionally been featured in campaigns for Bottega Veneta, Calvin Klein, and Microsoft. Emilio received his BFA in Dance from the California Institute of the Arts in 2022.

This of Mine is an ongoing solo born from an inner turmoil. By Indulging oneself within states of extremity, this is an attempt to search for something better than what came before and what already exists now.
