Emma-Jane Greig
Founder & Artistic Director
Emma-Jane is the Founder and Artistic Director of Body Politic, an award-winning arts organisation that empowers children and young people through dance, creativity and leadership.
Over the past 13 years, she has led the organisation’s growth from a small grassroots initiative into a nationally recognised charity, creating opportunities for thousands of young people to develop confidence, build connections and realise their potential through the arts.
A South East-based dance artist, producer and facilitator, Emma-Jane has extensive experience working across education, health and community settings, including schools, alternative provision, youth services and mental health programmes. Her practice is rooted in the belief that creativity can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth, social change and community connection.
Alongside her leadership of Body Politic, Emma-Jane creates and tours Hip Hop Dance Theatre nationally, using performance to explore contemporary social issues and amplify underrepresented voices. As one of a relatively small number of female Hip Hop Dance Theatre makers touring work across the UK, she is passionate about championing diverse stories and creating pathways for the next generation of artists and leaders.
