My background in dance and movement have transitioned into acting through Viewpoints, Suzuki, Lucid Body, and Alexander. In the Bay Area I have had the privilege of working with: Golden Thread Productions, Marin Theatre Company, The San Francisco Playhouse, ODC, A.C.T., Berkeley Rep, Arabian Shakespeare Festival, Dragon Theatre, Piano Fight, 3GirlsTheatre.
The wonderful, amazing, inspiring teachers and coaches I have worked with in the Bay Area include Patrick Russell, Kari Prindl, Lauren English, Laura Wayth, Richard Seyd, Frances Epsen-Devlin, and Meryl Shaw. I have also worked with Faye Simpson at Lucid Body, and Jim Calder, both from the NYU graduate program.

Some reviews/comments:
"We’re transplanted to a futuristic, hipster London. Here the cool kids are buying slaves from places like Bulgaria and Moldavia, using them for sexual gratification, and showing them off to friends at night clubs. When the women aren’t needed, they’re chained to fences. Remember that thing I mentioned about the unexpected, and it potentially stomping all over your comfort zone? Well, here you go. Provocative, indeed. 20 minutes of squirmish theater never felt so odd and well executed. Same too with the superb performances." (Turning Tricks, ReOrient festival) Stark Insider
“...Would the all-male team be able to cope with the exotic presence of Female Engineer (Emily Keyishian, in a quirky, understated performance that elevates her character from type to human being)?.." SF Chronicle
"Emily Keyishian, my favorite face to watch on stage, so funny and so tender" Stuart Bousel
"That’s for the audience to determine as the plot thickens, so to speak. And that’s when the only other person in this play shows up: the alluring, guarded Abby (beautifully understated performance by Emily Keyishian) who runs Drake Colony, a retreat where writers and would-be writers go to have the solitude and time to write."
