The SEE
Studio Program
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.

The SEE Studio Program sits alongside and feeds into Second Echo Ensemble’s artistic program, while also standing on its own.
Participation does not require a commitment to performance or production outcomes. Artists are supported to define what growth looks like for them.
The program runs in line with Tasmanian school terms. Participants may use NDIS funding to support their involvement, and some material costs may apply depending on the Lab.
At its core, the SEE Studio Program is about time, space, and trust — a place to make work, build practice, and belong.
