Emily Kyoko Shari is an interdisciplinary artist and dancer from Brooklyn. Her movement style stems from a strong foundation in ballet and modern dance. She trained at the School of American Ballet, the Martha Graham School, and the Paul Taylor School. She went on to study contemporary dance and sculpture at Hampshire College, where she received her BA. Her work blends movement and design by creating sculptures with interaction in mind. Through her abstract sculptures, she explores the possibilities of movement to reveal a nuanced conception of dance. Her approach to dance recontextualizes everyday movements and illuminates the desire paths our bodies have with our environment.

“I am honored to have performed at the Performance Mix 37…PMF plays a very inspiring, influential, and unique role in redefining the role of theater and performance art in society. I hope we continue to think about how this festival means so much not only for dance fans/ students, but for art lovers and the general public.”
