THE TEAM
Emanuelle

Born and raised in New York, Emanuelle has been immersed in the art of theatre, whether it is singing, acting or dancing, since the age of 6.

She also teaches Drama and English in different Belgian schools and successfully prepares future drama/musical theatre students for their auditions abroad. She also holds various workshops in musical theatre, acting, staging, etc. in Belgium and abroad.
But her passion for theatre has always led her to the stage and/or backstage. She performed many Avant-grade plays and directed several plays including "Akhmatova" (2010) and a French rendition of “The Importance of Being Earnest” (2015). Emanuelle later joined musical theatre companies like BLOC and Green Parrot and was delighted to play the roles of Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz” (2015-2016) and Polly in “Crazy for You – The New Gershwin Musical" (2017) and the dragon in “Shrek” (2019). She also directed “Urinetown – the Musical” in 2018. Emanuelle continues to learn and grow in her craft, attending various workshops in London, Paris, St. Petersburg and New York. This will be
