Dani D’emilia

Dani D'Emilia: Non-binary, transfeminist, white-italo-brazilian artist and educator working in the intersections of performance & visual arts, somatic practices, radical pedagogy and social-relational-ecological justice.

Dani's art-life practice is guided by a yearning for ‘metabolic intimacy’, a sense of responsible attunement with the web of inseparability that connects all relations, not only human. Combining performance-pedagogy (performance practice as a landscape for ritualised un/re-learnings), radical tenderness (an affective landscape for a political practice of healing), transfeminism (intersectional and trans* inclusive feminism) and decoloniality (interrogating colonial legacies on our bodies, subjectivities and relationships) their work explores ways in which we can reconfigure connections between reason, affect and relationality in order to create and nurture ways of being that face – and attempt to interrupt – different forms of violence inherent in our construction as modern subjects. Dani was a co-founder of the immersive theatre company Living Structures (UK) and the art space Roundabout.lx, a core member of the performance collectives La Pocha Nostra (MX/US) and Proyecto Inmiscuir (ES/MX) , as well as a collaborator of the ANDlab – Research Centre for Art-Thinking & Politics of Togetherness (PT/BR). They currently integrate the collective Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures, are one of the curators/editors of the ArtsEverywhere Platform, and collaborate on various projects that focus on helping expand our capacity to confront and find ways to move through the complexities of the multiple crisis in which we are involved. + info: www.danidemilia.com
