Author: Emily Gastineau Emily Gastineau

Emily Gastineau is a choreographer, performer, writer, and editor based in Minneapolis. Her current research focuses on the generic: the objects and ideas that are so pervasive we become unable to see their specificity. Recurring themes in her body of work include neoliberalism and endurance, spectatorship and revulsion, desire and language, and how to wade through the mess of existing culture. She is committed to collaboration, collective structures, and reorganizing the structures of making and relating across the field. She created over a dozen works with Billy Mullaney (US/NL) as part of the performance duo Fire Drill, and has also co-authored works with Vilma Pitrinaite (LT/BE) and Samantha Johns (US). Her work has been developed and/or presented by venues such as Frascati (Amsterdam), On the Boards (Seattle), Garage29 (Brussels), workspacebrussels, SE.S.TA (Prague), Panoply Performance Laboratory (Brooklyn), FringeArts (Philadelphia), Walker Art Center, Southern Theater, and Red Eye Theater (Minneapolis), among others. Emily has worked with Mn Artists since 2014, supporting almost every aspect of the program, including website development, content strategy, outreach, live programs, and editorial. She is currently the editor of the arts writing publication. From 2017-2019, she was based between Minneapolis and Amsterdam while completing a master’s at DAS Choreography, Amsterdam University of the Arts. Since 2019, Emily has served as one of seven artistic directors of Red Eye Theater. www.emilygastineau.com
