Earl Mosley's Institute of the Arts is one of EMDOD's cornerstone programs. EMIA’s four-week residential summer intensive has a 20-year legacy of fostering developing artists with professional-level connections, diverse technical training and the opportunity to become a part of a supportive community of artists passionate about movement. In partnership with Hofstra University, we are proud to offer EMIA 2025, cultivated and curated to support individuals looking toward a career as performing artists or simply as global citizens who strive to better the world through art and inclusivity.
