Samuli considers themselves a youthful Finnish-British queer performance maker (amongst other things), who happens to have a complicated but touchingly obsessive relationship to dancing. After completing a formal Western staged contemporary dance education at Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (SEAD) they’ve worked internationally in the productions of artists such as Meg Stuart, Jerome Bel, Imre & Marne Van Opstal, Christoph Winkler, River Lin and Jill Crovisier.
Samuli has received numerous awards and stipends for his accomplishments as a performer and maker in Finland, Germany, Poland, Estonia and Italy. She tends to craft absurd performative situationships, teach passionately, invite people together into epic generative spaces and practise loving ways to remain housed in one’s body.
Meet Samuli Emery at YPAM 2025.
