devynn emory is a choreographer/dance artist, dual licensed bodyworker, ritual guide, medium and registered nurse- practicing in the fields of acute/critical care, hospice, COVID and integrative health in NYC. emory's performance company devynnemory/beastproductions finds the intersection of these fields, walking the edges of thresholds- drawing from their multiple in-between states of being, holding space for liminal bodies bridging multiple planes of transition, finding reciprocity practice as a constant decolonial pathway. they are currently working on a trilogy centering medical mannequins holding the wisdom of end of life experiences. born on Lenape Land, emory is a reconnecting descendent of mixed Lenape/Blackfoot/settler ancestry. more about their work can be found at devynnemory.com and deadbird.land.
