Emilie Leriche is a freelance performer and creator based between Göteborg, Sweden and Paris,

France. From 2017-2021 she danced with GöteborgsOperans Danskompani under the artistic

direction of Katrín Hall. Prior to her move to Sweden, Leriche danced four seasons with

Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, where in 2015 she was awarded a Princess Grace Foundation

(USA) fellowship in dance. As a choreographer, she has created work on Scapino Ballet

Rotterdam, Nederlands Dans Theater II as a part of Korzo and NDT’s Up & Coming

Choreographers, and Whim W’Him in Seattle, USA. She has been a guest choreographer for

Nuova X’s professional dance program. In May of 2024 she premiered her latest work ‘Property

Identity Report’ -a creation for the tanzensemble of Theater St. Gallen. In October of 2024 she

will premiere her next work ‘The Longlongneverending’ , a new creation for Ballett Hagen.

As an independent artist she has been part of several creative and performance teams,

including Yoann Bourgeois’ collaboration with Patrick Watson, Ella Rothschild’s Milk Teeth for

Kammerballetten, Kor’Sia’s Mont Ventoux, and most recently Imre & Marne Van Opstal’s

Voodoo Waltz - a collaboration with the Schauspielhaus in Bochum, Germany.

In 2021 her project, On Mending, a collaboration with Shawn Fitzgerald Ahern, was

selected for Orsolina 28’s “Call for Creation” fellowship where the work was originally

developed for film. In 2022, with the support of a “Work-in-Progress” grant from the Princess

Grace Foundation, On Mending was further developed and performed as a live production at

Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York City. In 2023, Leriche and Ahern were commissioned by

BAC to direct their next film, One & One Other; which premiered on BAC’s digital platform in April 2023.
