Emily Hippert

Emily Hippert is a multidisciplinary performance artist whose work draws from dream material, embodied memory, and the liminal space between worlds. Informed by her work with adults experiencing dementia, her practice explores themes of impermanence and connection across visible and invisible realms.

PERFORMANCE NAME:
"Plethora" is a solo butoh performance inspired by Georges Bataille's notion of expenditure. The piece is an homage to the mother, tracing a lineage through female archetypes and myths. Emerging from the earth's dark milk, she transforms into seductive, ripe, haunting, violent, and transcendent vessels of abundance, offering a meditation on creation, scarcity, and the cyclical nature of "enough."
