emily anderson is an actor & yoga teacher originally from the san francisco bay area. she earned her b.f.a. at the theatre school at depaul university (the goodman school of drama) in chicago and is currently based in new york.

an active imagination and a passion for words led her to the theatre as a kid. acting in plays in high school sparked her curiosity about the human body’s creative impulse, and she has followed a rabbit hole of physical theatre and somatic practices. after studying at depaul university, she went on to study lecoq physical theatre at the movement theatre studio in new york and is trained as a yoga teacher in the desikachar lineage.

she’s interested in human connection, the ways we avoid it, the beauty that can be found in life’s ugliness, and the ugliness found in the midst of beauty.

voice, movement, language, and spirituality all come together in her acting process. 

here you’ll find some samples of her acting work, as well as more details about her yoga teaching practice. thanks for checkin it out.
