Emine Adilak, she/they, is an interdisciplinary artist from Tkaronto/Toronto, currently based in Tiohtia:ke/Montreal, with strong ties to her Turkish heritage. Before focusing on contemporary dance, they trained in various dance styles, self-published a poetry book, was classically trained in violin, and co-directed an art show educating youth about rape culture and sexual assault. Still in the process of obtaining her BFA in Contemporary Dance at Concordia University, Emine made her professional debut as an interpreter in the Festival TransAmériques (2024) in the piece “Multitud” by Tamara Cubas. Through various professional workshops and personal practice, they aim to cultivate a driving insistence in interpretation, using movement as both a form of personal expression and an invitation for deeper connection. With the support of Circuit-Est’s Bancs d’essai residency, Emine will be sharing her first solo work “Gut rot” in April 2025.
