EMIA (Earl Mosley's Institute of the Arts) is one of EMDOD's cornerstone programs. As a four-week residential summer intensive, EMIA has a more than 20-year legacy of supporting developing artists with professional-level connections, diverse technical training, and expansive personal growth opportunities within a greater 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 their future career as performing artists or simply as future and current citizens of our society.
