From Halifax, Emily has two loves – Music and performance. She graduated from Dalhousie in 2005 with a BA in Theatre (performance) and has studied classical piano since childhood. She currently works at Halifax Dance as an accompanist, writes original music on the piano and ukulele, and often accompanies the talented community of Dapopo.

This is her first project with Vile Passeist. Emily recently completed a yoga teacher’s training course at Yandara in Baja, Mexico. She has been cold since she returned but the beautiful cast and crew of The Roaring Girl are keeping her heart warm.
