Emma Frankland is a performer and theatre maker, based in London and originally from Cornwall. She has devised several award-winning shows, (most notably with Laura Mugridge and The Frequency D’ici) and is co-director and curator of The Campsite, a pop-up venue for intimate live performance, music and film which looks to support big ideas in small spaces and provides a space for artists to meet and experiment... in tents.
She has collaborated with a diverse collection of companies and artists in recent years, including Chris Goode & Company, Wildworks, Shakespeare’s Globe, Coney, Stuff & Nonsense Theatre and the Cornish Theatre Collective. While her artistic work has been diverse, there is a shared theatrical language that focuses on honesty, action and a playful D.I.Y aesthetic.
