Sound by: Niharika Senapati.

Dance, in a Dissolving Horizon
2018
Starting in February 2017 Emma started her Postgraduate degree at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Here she will investigate how notions of landscape intersect within choreographic practice, this will result in a new dance work and accompanying exegesis currently known as Dance, Quiet Riot.
Emma was a guest choreographer with LINK Dance Company, creating a short dance work on the 12 female Company members. This then toured to Amsterdam and France.
DDH
2017
DDH is shifting landscape, where nothing is completely as it seems. A realm where three performing female bodies ambiguously riot within a balanced space formed of symbiosis between music and dance, structure and emotion, nurture and distance.
This work seeks the dance, the quiet riot, the muted shout, the unseen reverberation, the disgruntled landscape, the rising water, the evolving body, in a dissolving horizon.
The work examines the current parallels between shifting notions of what is female and the shifting landscape.
Dancers: Nikki Tarling, Isabella Stone, Bernadette Lewis
Costume and Set: Emma Fishwick
Sound Design: Emma Fishwick featuring Ennio Morricone & Hildur Gudnadottir

TASDANCE RESIDENCY
2017
During her residency at Tasdance Emma began her research into notions of landscape and the female form and how this sits within choreographic practice via transference from paper to body and vice versa. Ultimately, a ‘landscape’ of creative outcomes is arrived at via various artistic mediums (text, drawing, sound, object) and dynamically deployed.
Two week solo research at Tasdance Studio's in Launceston, Tasmania
Drawn Images, Responsive text, 3 channel video series, sculpture and movement were created during this time.
