Emi Aungst
ACTING COACH, ASSISTANT CAMP DIRECTOR
Emi is a theatre educator, director, choreographer, and creative jack-of-all-trades who believes in the magic of storytelling and student growth. A 2020 graduate of LIU Post with a BFA in Musical Theatre, Emi has been directing and choreographing since 2019 and hasn’t stopped moving since. As a resident teaching artist with Community Through Song and Stage, Emi does it all—guiding students onstage while also building sets, designing lights, and sewing costumes behind the scenes. She still performs when she can, staying connected to the artist’s experience and bringing that empathy into the rehearsal space. Outside the arts, Emi teaches CPR, Medication Administration, and de-escalation in healthcare—because even offstage, helping people feel safe and seen is at the heart of what they do. She believes theatre builds more than shows—it builds community, confidence, and creative humans ready to take on the world.
