WElcome to Second Echo Ensemble

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.

LET ME DRY YOUR EYES


Presented by Second Echo Ensemble and MONA FOMA 2021. 

Live music and dance at the old Beaumaris Zoo in Hobart's Domain, Second Echo Ensemble’s outdoor performance tells the watery tale of a bird and a whale with movement, telescopes and underwater noise, including a drummer in an aquarium.
