WElcome to Second Echo Ensemble
Our ensemble of professional artists use their stories, art, and performance to increase visibility and understanding, elevating diverse voices and promoting fairness in our communities.
We create and produce interdisciplinary art and live performance, inviting audiences to challenge preconceived notions of ability.
WE CELEBRATE DIVERSITY
We are a curiosity-driven ensemble that values and grows creative relationships, unique perspectives, and collaboratively devised performances.
WE CHALLENGE ASSUMPTIONS
Our mission is to create and present exceptional performance that challenges assumptions, shakes up stereotypes, and gives voice to untold stories.
WE MAKE THINGS HAPPEN
We don't make a performance about having a disability or not having a disability. We do work about life, its surroundings, its imaginings, its rhythms, its anger, and its celebrations.
