In 1996 she was awarded the Channel 4 bursary for young directors at Nottingham Playhouse and Roundabout.
Emily studied Theology at Cambridge University and trained in directing at The Central School of Speech and Drama and has since worked extensively in movement theatre and devised storytelling theatre.

Trestle deeply regrets the sad passing of Toks Igbokwe who was a longstanding and respected Board member.
Toks brought her consummate professionalism, enquiring mind and generous spirit to the Board of Trestle Theatre Company and was a highly respected and appreciated Trustee. Her insight into community relations and the arts significantly supported Trestle's work and she would question and evolve ideas in a most honest and creative manner.
We will miss her delightful energy and wisdom and our deepest sympathies go to her family and friends.
