What is Second Echo Ensemble?

Second Echo Ensemble (SEE) is a contemporary arts company based in Nipaluna/Hobart, Tasmania. 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.

Who is part of the ensemble?

The ensemble consists of professional performers and artists from diverse backgrounds, collaborating with people with and without disabilities, ensuring everyone has a voice and contributes their unique perspective. Meet the team here.
