Elliot Emadian

Bio

Elliot Reza Emadian is a gender-nonconforming interdisciplinary artist and educator who works in the interstices of dance, video, music, light, photography, and popular culture. Their primary medium, choreography, functions as an algorithmic, scalar practice to magnify, confound, and transcend humanness and to digest the webbed patterns that give rise to form and trope. Elliot, a true queer of the South at heart, now splits their time between Cleveland, OH, Central Illinois, and Chicago. Elliot holds a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from W&L University and a Master of Fine Arts in Dance from the University of Illinois.
