The Mill’s Centre Stage Residency will progress a new work presented by Emma Beech to its next stage of development, including a work-in-progress public showing and culminating in a season at The Mill as part of Adelaide Fringe 2023.

Here We Are crosses forms between stand-up comedy, improvisational theatre, performance lecture and traditional theatre. Embracing simplicity in form, a low carbon footprint in all areas of design, as well as a focus on the here and now, by creating improvised story performances.

“No rehearsals, no story set list, no set design, just me, the craft I have so finely tuned, my stories from the wonderful story life I have lived and sought out, and the relationship I build with the audience over the course of a show.”
