Emma Portner
Emma Portner is a visionary choreographer known for her boundary-pushing approach to movement. With a career spanning commercial dance, film, and ballet, she brings a unique sensibility to every project. From creating duets that challenge classical conventions to redefining dance in music videos and live performances, Portner’s work is an exploration of the physical form in its most inventive state.
“It’s an intensely beautiful moment – then it goes away.”
Her bold perspective has led her to choreograph for the West End, tour with global artists, and create for leading dance companies, including the Norwegian National Ballet and the National Ballet of Canada. Whether in contemporary dance or classical settings, Portner’s movement language is unmistakably her own—fluid, dynamic, and deeply expressive.
