Emily Cordes

Emily Cordes is an NYC-based actress specializing in devised, physically-rooted ensemble performance. Balancing depth and sensitivity with “steely determination," and a “smile [that] lights up the stage,” she is indie theater’s answer to Cristin Milotti, Emmy Rossum, and Kate Miccucci–quirky, slightly dark, and uncannily compelling. When not onstage or on camera, she moonlights as a spoken word and published poet, yogi, cat momma, and Tarot enthusiast.
 
She loves new fans, friends, and collaborators, so check out her work and drop her a line!
