Second Echo Ensemble creates Radical Equity
– providing the time, space and support each individual artist requires
to participate and create at their highest level.
Second Echo Ensemble (SEE) is an integrated contemporary arts ensemble, creating accessible creative pathways for disabled and neurodivergent artists through studio practice, mentoring, collaboration, public presentation and pathways to paid creative work.
2026 Artistic Program
In a world that feels increasingly fractured, 2026 is SEE doubling down on what we know: art takes time, relationships are creative practice, and belonging is something we build deliberately, together, again and again.
After the scale and exhilaration of our 20th Anniversary season in 2025, 2026 becomes a year of settling in, listening closely, and allowing the future shape of our work to emerge through care, conversation and time - at the pace real relationships require.
SEE Studio Programs
The SEE Studio Program is where artists come to build practice, test ideas, and make work together.
It is Second Echo Ensemble’s artist and artform development program, supporting artists to grow skills, confidence, and professional connection through sustained studio practice.
The program is made up of a series of Labs — Soundtrack Lab, Animation Lab, Dance Lab and Ensemble Lab — each offering a different way to explore creative practice. Artists can take part in one Lab or several, depending on their interests, access needs, and goals.
Opportunities
Discover multiple ways to connect and create with us. Our opportunities span community workshops, Studio Labs, artist studio residencies, volunteering and NDIS-supported participation.
Whether you’re an artist developing your practice, identify as disabled or neurodivergent, are underrepresented in the industry, or looking to work alongside an inclusive, artist-led ensemble, these opportunities are designed to support growth, connection and meaningful participation across the arts.
Our Vision
Second Echo Ensemble is a place where art reshapes perspectives and redefines possibility - challenging how it's made, who creates it, and where it happens.
We don't make art about having a disability or not having a disability. We create stories about life, its surroundings, its imaginings, its rhythms, its anger, and its celebrations.
