Chookas

Emma Wright, is the Associate Producer of the new initiative which was launched in October this year (2022). Emma graduated with a Bachelors of Film and Television and also hold a Diploma from The Actors Studio London. Emma is also the Co-Founder of Eye Contact Theatre Company and also a Co-Founder of Jump Start Youth Theatre. She came on the show specifically to talk to us about Australian Theatre Live (ATL), a new way of seeing theatre. We have all heard of National Theatre Live which is based in the UK but now we have it here except it is focusing on Australian work. The ATL team has come to bring us Theatre to our screens with high quality sound and film so it will feel as if we are there. We are so excited that this is happening in our own backyards as people who were not available to access theatre now will be able to. Australians in all demographics will now be able experience storytelling in their homes. Emma speaks to us about how it all work and what the future holds for ATL and the how it will change Australian Theatre landscape. We are very excited to be able to be part of such change. Thank you very much Emma for coming and we hope this grows and more people experience storytelling in all the corners of Australia.
CHOOKAS!!
