For pittsburgh theatre, emma cook: how family and dance have shaped her.

March 31, 2019

              When Emma Cook talks, two things are evident: she loves what she does, and what she does is dance. All of her stories are told passionately with a lot of details, and she moves while she talks, her hands fluidly punctuating her sentences. She’s a reporter’s dream with her attention to dates and details and good nature. She’s pretty, with a bouncy smile, long brown hair tied back in a ponytail, and blue eyes framed by black-rimmed glasses, three sparkling earrings in each ear. She’s friendly and easy to talk to with a quick wit.

              We meet in Rock‘n’ Joe Coffee Bar in downtown Pittsburgh right after her work at the Pittsburgh CLO ends. Despite having a full day of classes at Point Park University and then work, she’s upbeat and energetic. She’s spending her spring semester as one of the CLO’s Gene Kelly Award interns. (Kelly was a Pittsburgh native.) The Gene Kelly Awards are a high school musical theater awards program that feeds into the National High School Musical Theater Awards, also known as the Jimmy Awards. Cook’s job with the CLO and the Gene Kellys is to organize, confirm, and inform. She’s in and out of meetings and running to check on the schools participating in the awards.

              “We coordinate all of the schools’ and judges’ schedules. This year we have the most of both that we’ve ever had. We have 33 participating schools and 42 judges. Each school has to be seen four times by judges in their budget category. We just finished finalizing budget categories, and we’re working to make sure that the schools are social media networking, to make sure that someone within the school is promoting the shows. We also have the Kellys Critic Award and we have meetings with that, so we basically do a lot of emails and school visits. I’m still wrapping my head around it. We’re in our fifth week right now, and I have to admit that it’s a lot.”

              Cook’s internship with the CLO serves two purposes: to give her practical experience that she desires and to fulfill her required internship for graduation. She is a Dance and Sports, Arts, and Entertainment Management double major graduating with the dual degree in just three years from Point Park this April. The plan after graduation is to move to New York City and audition, audition, audition. With a determined expression, she repeats, “I want to dance. I want to perform.” Ever pragmatic, she adds that she knows that it’s difficult to make a living as a performer and she’d love to have a job related to the arts industry while she auditions.

              Cook was born in North Carolina and moved to northern Virginia when she was three. She grew up in Lorton, Virginia, one of four kids. “It’s funny,” she says. “The story we tell is that my parents went from having no kids one Christmas to having three. My sister Kate is eleven months older than I am; her birthday is December 27th. Then Ben and I are December 11th. Our older half-brother Nick was born December 9th. All four of us are December birthdays. So, the story that I like to tell people is that, because Kate was born December 27th, one Christmas my parents didn’t have any kids and then the next Christmas they had three.”

              She began dancing at four, mainly because, as she says, her parents needed somewhere to put her and her siblings, though Ben began dancing two years after she and Kate. Dancing wasn’t a very serious commitment for her, she says, just something that she did for fun. When she was eight years old, her brother Ben got an agent at their dance teacher’s urging and then, at eleven, joined the company of Ahrens and Flaherty’s Ragtime on Broadway as the understudy for Younger Brother. “I’ll be talking a lot about Ben. I don’t want you to think that I’m avoiding talking about myself by talking about Ben,” she says suddenly. She leans across the table to look me in the eyes earnestly. “It’s not that. It’s just that the circumstances of our family revolve a lot around him. It’s just that a lot of what impacted me was him.”

              After Ben moved to New York to join Ragtime , dance became Cook’s “thing.” Her sister Kate had stopped dancing by then and Ben was in New York, so she was able to figure out dance for herself. While Ben was in New York City for about a year and a half, two months with Ragtime and then with Billy Elliot , her parents alternated their time between New York and Virginia. One of them would spend a week in the NYC apartment with Ben while the other stayed at home with Kate and Emma. On Sunday, they would both take a bus and swap places overnight for the next week.

              “My parents both have full time jobs, and they did the best they could, dear God,” she laughs. “At the time a lot of close family friends were helping me get around, taking me to and from dance, and I was starting to figure out life, too, for myself.”

              She gets serious. “My sister has Bipolar and ADHD, so all while my parents and Ben were gone, I was the one there. Puberty and mental illness don’t go well together. It was really only Kate and me. It got really bad and I didn’t know how to deal with it. It created a big divide between us, and we really didn’t have a relationship. I really didn’t understand it, and that’s another thing that pushed me to find solace in dance. Kate danced until I was in seventh grade, so two years after Ben left, Kate stopped dancing, and I had something to myself. It was nice to have a breath and have a space all to myself. It was a rough two years, but then it kind of flipped.” She takes a second to say, “I talked with her last night which is why she’s on my mind.

              “She’s working with two-year-olds at a preschool, and she loves it. Honestly, now she’s my biggest supporter. It’s hard for me to accept compliments from her when she tries to give them to me. Because we had such a poor relationship growing up, it’s hard for me to adjust to it now. I’m just so happy for her.”

              When Cook was in seventh grade, Ben booked the national tour of Billy Elliot as Michael initially and then taking over the title role of Billy, after having performed in it on Broadway the summer after sixth grade as Tall Boy and understudying Michael. With Ben on tour, both of the Cook parents were at home. “He was doing that,” Cook jokes, “while I was just trying to survive middle school and freshman year of high school.” At 15 when Ben grew out of the Billy Elliot tour, he joined the rest of the family back in Virginia.

              “He was home for a year and it was so fun, because he actually got to come to high school with me. He was tutored while he was on tour, but now he actually got to go to high school for a year. It was nice for me because that was really the only time during our adolescence that we were together.”

              She’s articulate and careful in her word choice, always pausing before giving dates and ages to make sure she’s right. As she talks more about Ben and her family, it’s clear that she loves them dearly. She is always talking about the ways that they have influenced, shaped, and supported her. Hardly a sentence passes without a mention of them.

              The summer after their sophomore year of high school, Ben booked the national tour of Disney’s Newsies . He went back on tour while Cook continued to train intensely and attended Camp FLY, a dance intensive, and submitted a piece of her own choreography to “Farewell” by Rhianna. It was the first time that she’d choreographed anything and says that it was the first time that she was given a solo dance. She credits her teachers for the opportunity, saying that they were acknowledging that she was creating her own identity as a dancer outside of Ben. She says that it’s something that she’s always struggled with. Still, she dedicated the performance to Ben because she was sad to see him leave after having had him home for a year.

              “So it was after my junior year that I decided that this is what I want to do. Really, after seeing Ben when he was home and how hardworking he was and how dedicated to dance, it really made me realize that I loved dance. Not just the physical act of being there, but it was such a part of who I was. I realized that, ‘Oh, I can do this. I can make a career of this. I can go to college for this.’ I wanted this to be my life and be a part of the arts and performance community. That’s when we started looking at colleges and considering this as an option.”

              She ended up at Point Park University here in Pittsburgh where her friends already were. She tells the story of her audition for PPU, how she came out of that audition feeling the best of all the school auditions and how her best friend from home, also at PPU, Kyra, took her to The Yard in Market Square for dinner afterwards. She feels like she was meant to be here and, after three years, is ready to graduate and expand her horizons.

              After graduation, she’s open to everything. Dance, she says, is expanding and so are the career options. She’d love to be involved in musical theater, whether it’s regional, tour, or, and she admits, Broadway is a dream. She says that getting a job on a cruise ship right after graduation would be ideal. She loves to travel and would like to dance, while traveling, while getting paid. Her love for travel, she thinks, stems from a Europe trip that she and her brother took.

              The summer after her freshman year of college, Cook and her brother took a seventeen-day trip alone to Germany and Iceland. Cook had taken German in high school for four years and wanted to travel somewhere that she could use her language skills. They spent the majority of their time in Germany and ended with about two and a half days in Iceland. “My brother and I didn’t really grow up together. We had different upbringings because he was on tour a lot, so it was the most time that we had spent alone together ever. It was so weird to realize. We fought quite a bit, but we came out of it so close. I really think that the experiences that we had together are what make me want to travel again. I want to do that again; it was so much fun. We funded it ourselves, too, so it was completely independent.”

              Seeing Cook dance, it’s obvious how much of herself she gives to dance. She always looks like she’s having the time of her life and puts everything into her pieces. Even though she can dance all sorts of styles, jazz is her favorite and is her concentration at Point Park.

Thinking about Kate and how her sister’s mental illness impacted their family, Cook is choreographing a piece for Point Park’s student showcase. She submitted her concept and was chosen out of a large pool of applicants. She wants to shed light on mental health and is clear in the piece’s purpose. “It’s not to raise awareness; it’s not to pity someone with a mental disorder. It’s to show what happens in the mind of someone who’s having a manic-depressive episode. Because I think I didn’t understand it for so long – I don’t think I will fully understand it – but I sat down with Kate for coffee and she was very open with me about what it feels like in your head and what it feels like emotionally and in your body. She gave me a lot of ideas of what I could put into dance and told me to run with it. I’m really excited about it.”

              Though she says that she doesn't want to be a choreographer, Cook's piece that she choreographed,  Perpetual Mental Battle ,   is beautiful. The dancer taking Kate's role in the piece dances between four girls, two in red and two in blue. The two in red, representing a manic episode, are frantic with fast-paced choreography. The music is  heavily rhythmic, and the dancers' movements align perfectly. In the middle of the piece, the four girls in red and blue surround the other as she crouches on the ground before she slowly rolls up and the two girls in blue dance with her. The representation of a depressive episode, the choreography and the music slows, long languid  movements before speeding up a little. Cook's attention to detail and the palpable shifts in tone  her choreography creates are impressive and beautiful.  The piece conveys exactly what she intends it to: the mental battle for someone with Bipolar disorder.

              As Cook graduates this spring, she is a force to be reckoned with and a performer to be watched. She'll surely be making her mark on the dance and entertainment world.

Emma Cook’s Days of Wonder

If 2011 continues to be as full of excitement, exhilaration, and adulation as its first weekend, Emma Cook is headed for quite a year. On the evening of Sunday, Jan. 2, Emma packed The Loading Dock restaurant/bar in Traverse City with almost 200 of her closest friends for the release party of her new CD, “Days of Wonder”. The fruit of a semester off from the University of Vermont, and an autumn of intense work with Patrick Niemisto at the Holy Wah Studio near Maple City, Days of Wonder is a harvest of Emma’s crystalline voice and emerging songwriting skills.

“I’ve been singing my whole life since I was a kid,” Emma explains. “My Mom (Sue Wood, who works at the Cottage Book Shop in Glen Arbor) plays piano. I started singing in the high school vocal group North by Northwest at Glen Lake in 9th grade. Nobody knew I could sing until I entered an 8th grade talent show. My Mom played piano and I sang “Stairway to the Stars” in front of a middle school audience. I tied for first place, and performing was really exhilarating!”

Emma counts among her musical influences “the younger Ben Folds, Brandi Carlisle (whose phrasings you can hear in Emma’s voice), and Chris and Thomas, a duo my friend (and guitar-playing collaborator) Will Hendricks recommended.” Emma’s parents (her Dad Gary Cook is also a musician) took her to Blissfest every year. “I was inspired by Seth Bernard, May Erlewine, and Donna the Buffalo. I’ve also been to the Hiawatha Music Festival, Wheatland, and Dunegrass, so I’ve seen great bands and singers perform a lot.”

Songwriting started for Ms. Cook when all members of North by Northwest were assigned by Mr. Niemisto to write and perform a song. “I really took to it,” Emma remembers. “Mine was called ‘The Brainwashing Song’, and I performed it for 60 or 70 kids at school, a really big group of my peers. I really liked it — it’s fun to write and perform, it lets me be creative and has become my creative outlet.”

At only 20 years old, Emma is evolving a songwriting technique. “It’s always different,” she explains. “Sometimes I’ll think of a chord progression and then try to find words that match. Sometimes the lines in my songwriting notebook suggest something and I try to find a musical way to express them. I’m pretty visual — first I write it in my head, but I want a copy to look at so I don’t forget the moment of inspiration. Then several drafts follow, and I have to feel really happy with it before I’ll perform it. My second set at the Loading Dock was mostly new songs I liked and feel confident about.”

“Days of Wonder” also features Hendricks on acoustic guitar, John Kumjian on percussion, Pat Ivory on dobro and electric lap steel guitar, Rowan Niemisto on lead guitar, Ingemar Johansson on nykelharpa, Lisa Johansson on flute, Drew Aron on classical guitar, Patrick Niemisto on bass, percussion, acoustic guitar and mandolin, Gary Cook on octave mandolin, Sue Wood on piano, and yours truly on flugelhorn and trumpet. Emma plays piano, acoustic guitar, marimba, xylophone, and percussion, as well as singing the vocals with her magical, mesmerizing voice. Sometimes she sounds like May Erlewine, sometimes Corinne Bailey Rae or Nelly Furtado or Brandi Carlisle, but Emma always puts her own distinctive styling into each performance. Her songs range from the introspective to the playful, from love songs to carpe diem epiphanies. They are full of joy and youthful exuberance, and for a debut production this CD is outstanding. (It is available at the Cottage Book Shop in Glen Arbor and the Cedar City Market. A couple of songs are on MySpace, or you can request a CD by emailing emmacookmusic (AT) gmail.com. A webpage is in the works.)

And that’s not all. Emma’s music will take a brief hiatus this winter and spring, because on January 21st she is flying to Chennai and then on to Auroville in southeast India! As a student at the University of Vermont, Emma enrolled in a program through UMass that will send 25 students to live in an “intentional community” (“like an ashram,” she says) to earn credits in Environmental Studies with a focus on Sustainability Studies. “For three and a half months we’ll be doing yoga six days a week and working on a farm while also taking classes with faculty who live there,” Emma explains. “Then I’m going to travel for six weeks and be back in June.”

Emma Cook is a pragmatic girl. “I would like to pursue a career in music, and I’m working toward that happening. But I’m not yet confident that it really will, so I’m going back to school at the University of Vermont in Burlington for another year and a half to finish up. Then I would love to just go on tour!”

You can experience Emma Cook’s talent next summer at Boonedock’s when she will perform every week with Goodboy. In the meantime, buy “Days of Wonder” so that Emma Cook’s voice can warm your winter.

Kissing pic emma watson confirms romance with kieran brown.

It looks like Emma Watson has a new man!

Last week, Emma was spotted kissing Kieran Brown, who is a PhD student at Oxford University.

The two were snapped smooching at a bakery close to the university.

An eyewitness told DailyMail.com, “They were chatting together in the [line]. They seemed to have quite a nice vibe.”

“I couldn't hear what they were saying, apart from when she ordered — she got an espresso, a cake, and a juice, or something similar,” the eyewitness added. “She didn't seem to be trying to hide herself, she was just [in line] with him normally. Nobody really reacted to her, but I could see people in the shop recognized her.”

Emma is currently a part-time student at Oxford, where she is studying for a master’s degree.

A source recently told The Sun U.K., “Emma is studying creative writing, and his thesis is all about literary theory — so they have a lot to talk about. She looks so loved-up with Kieran.”

A year ago, news broke about Emma’s split from Brandon Green, son of business tycoon Sir Philip Green.

Over the years, Emma has been romantically linked to California businessman Leo Alexander Robinton, Will Adamowicz, Johnny Simmons, Chord Overstreet, Matthew Janney and Brendan Wallace.

Emma Corrin Wore Miu Miu To The ‘Deadpool & Wolverine' London Premiere

E mma Corrin returned to the red carpet for the ‘Deadpool & Wolverine' London photocall held at the IET Building, Savoy Place this afternoon, where the weather fortunately stayed dry. Hot on the heels of the premiere , it seems that the common theme for the London leg of this press tour is an abundance of buckles.

Emma's custom Miu Miu navy dress showcased this trend with a buckle adorning the collar, creating a striking visual impact. And it extended to their footwear, featuring prominently on their boots.

Emma has a knack for pulling off even the most unconventional looks, and their confident presence was on full display in this ensemble. The dress itself, with its tailored fit-and-flare silhouette and buckle accents, exuded a sense of edgy sophistication that aligns well with Emma's fashion-forward persona.

However, the choice of biker boots added an unexpected twist to the outfit. While these boots play into the villainous character Emma portrays, their heavy, rugged style seemed at extreme odds with the dress. Despite this stylistic clash, Emma's confidence carried the look to a certain extent, making it work in a way that few others could.

That said, the biker boots didn't quite hit the mark for me. While Emma can indeed sell just about anything, it was not to be the case with these boots. Nonetheless, I was relieved that they opted for biker boots over cowboy boots, which would have felt even more out of place.

Stylist: Harry Lambert.

‘An innate desire to help others’: 8 members of U.S. Congress tour Welfare Square

Elder carl b. cook of the presidency of the seventy shows 8 congresspeople from the committee on ways and means self-reliance efforts on welfare square.

By Church News

Canned vegetables, donated books and chocolate milk had one thing in common: They were products gathered through self-reliance efforts to bless brothers and sisters in a worldwide family.

On Friday, July 12, eight members of the United States House of Representatives serving in the  Committee on Ways and Means  got a behind-the-scenes look at these self-reliance efforts as they toured  Welfare Square  in Salt Lake City.

The tour taught beyond what members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe, focusing instead on what motivates their service — a fond endeavor to serve the Savior.
