My debut theatre work was a show in my mum’s bedroom. Emma graduated from Flinders Drama Centre in 2000, then worked in theatre and screen as well as developing an arts practice of making theatre shows from intimate conversations with other humans, from strangers to my dad, drawing from documentary practice to create my own docu-theatre style.  The best moments of these conversations I collect together to make shows, which exalt the un-exalted in our daily lives, and hone in on our life-changing stories.   

My work is often direct address, and montages monologue storytelling, gestures and physical narratives that are collected from interviews, conversations, confessions and observations. I work with collaborators that include installation-theatre companies in Demark and Singapore, and various companies and festivals locally including The Rabble, Arts House, DreamBIG Festival, Aphids, OSCA, No Strings Attached, STC SA, Brink Productions, No Strings Attached and Vitalstatistix. I have just finished my one-woman show commissioned for the Adelaide Festival, The Photo Box. And I am the proud mum of 8-year old triplets, which is a show all of its own.
