We are a performance duo from Portsmouth, UK & San Francisco, USA.

Founded in 2018, our collaboration explores humanity in extreme landscapes, creating cinematic, otherworldly environments that invite us to reimagine our place in the world.

Our work has been presented at the Barbican Centre, Summerhall, New Diorama Theatre, The Yard Theatre, Theatre by the Lake, The ShowRoom, Capital Theatres, Nonsuch Studios, VAULT Festival, Camden People’s Theatre, and Shoreditch Town Hall. We were Barbican Open Lab resident artists for 2021/22 and Play Artists in Residence at The Spring Centre for Arts and Heritage for autumn/winter 2022.

Our performance text for Ghosts of the Near Future is published by Bloomsbury UK/Methuen Drama.

We are currently under commission with New Diorama Theatre to create a new show for young audiences alongside primary schools in Camden, and are planting seeds for future work with the support of Hawkwood Centre for Future Thinking and curious directive.

We are an independent, self-produced company with big ambitions. If you would like to donate to the future of emma + pj, you can do so through our Ko-fi page.
