Emma-Jane Greig

Founder & Company Director

After graduating with BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Manchester, Emma-Jane has dedicated the past 10+yrs to supporting and nurturing the growth of Body Politic.

Having relied so heavily on dance as a young person to navigate and understand her own grief, Emma-Jane realised the transformational and universal power of dance and artistic expression. Through her work, Emma-Jane seeks to help children and young people grow confidence, challenge perceptions, and develop as young leaders of the future.

Emma-Jane has a huge amount of experience in facilitating workshops to engage vulnerable and ‘at risk’ groups in the arts, and directing youth platforms. Her work as a freelance dance practitioner has included work in Pupil Referral Units, Mental Health Care in-patient wards, disabled groups, early intervention hubs as well as schools and FE colleges.

As well as her work in local communities, Emma-Jane has toured two full-length Hip Hop theatre works Father Figurine and more recently, THEM. Passionate about bringing Hip Hop Dance Theatre to audiences aged 14-25yrs, and sparking conversation on challenging topics, Emma-Jane is proud to be one of the only female hip hop dance theatre makers in the UK touring nationally.
