Biography

Emilia Dorr is an argentinian choreographer and performance artist. Graduated from Choreographic Composition with a major in Body Expression from the National University of the Arts (UNA) in Buenos Aires and of the Master's Degree in Experimental Performance Theory and Practice at the University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart (HMDK), Emilia Dorr's works move on the surface of interdisciplinary performances. Her latest research and productions - "Ways to dip up the mountain" premiered at Theatre Rampe and "within" presented as part of "Interventions - Zwischennutzung Metropol- Kino" - have focused on "relating" in contexts in order to inhabit otherness and create a shared experience with the audience.

Outside of her personal projects, she is currently participating as a performer in the project "(Ohne Titel)" by German artist Tino Sehgal as part of the Kunst am Bau program for the Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg Stuttgart (DHWB), and in the piece ""Murder Ballads Volume 2: The Positive Reinforcement Campaign" by American composer Jessie Marino, premiered at the Donaueschinger Musiktage 2023 festival.

Before moving to Germany she worked as an independent artist in Argentina and then in Mexico, where she actively collaborated with the Mexican company "Vaca34 Theatre in Group" as a performer, researcher and assistant in several productions and festivals and organized the first edition of the theater festival "ETOAX" in Oaxaca, Mexico.

She is artist-in-residence at the 2024 10 TAGE FREISCHWIMMEN and grant beneficiary of the Projektförderung im Bereich Darstellende Künste 2024 from the Kulturamt der Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart.
