Emily Cordes

Emily Cordes is a New York City-based actress specializing in devised, physically-rooted ensemble theatre. On stage, on camera, and in life, she creates work that moves, transcends, captivates, provokes, and connects. She believes everyone has a role in this great drama of existence, and wants to tell as many of those tales as possible.

She loves collaborating with like-minded artists, so check out her work and drop her a line!
