Working in a network of collaborators we explore how to harness different creative technologies to build and tell stories that are vibrant, vital and visceral. We are currently in R&D for our third production: The Undrowned (supported by Arts Council England). To this end we create theatre stories that have digital technology sewn into their very narrative fabric, underscored by original music, film and performance. Then we invite our audience into an unexpected, surprising space... We are resident at Watershed’s internationally acclaimed Pervasive Media Studio.

Contracts of Care are designed to empower independent artists and producers. In 2012 Wide Awake Devon needed to contract a number of live performance companies where there was no financial exchange. After a number of conversations I developed the Contract of Care which sets out the expectations of both parties in terms of behaviour, commitment, ambition using informal, plain language. The currency of a Contract of Care is value. I then developed the template for Contract of Care for commissioning through my role at Kaleider. The Contract of Care is currently used for all resident relationships and commissioning agreements at Kaleider. If you are interested in using the Contract of Care template or talking more then please get in touch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/1500289736780-1V7TMDSYW2NLSGLMKNN1/image-asset.jpeg Current Projects - Gaggling Photo by mbolina/iStock / Getty Images https://www.emilywilliams.co.uk/wide-awake-devon daily 0.75 2017-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/1490446140303-D28IHOO2AOG2V67QNO4G/outside+image+Barbican+Theatre.jpg Wide Awake Devon https://www.emilywilliams.co.uk/portfolio-1 daily 0.75 2017-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/1490446472312-RFPB7EKEVBLKV8M7CKU2/image-asset.jpeg How I got here - Founding member & Executive Producer Kaleider https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/1490444896174-YL0T1L46A3UT9KNYX24P/outside+image+Barbican+Theatre.jpg How I got here - Creative Producer Creative Producer - Barbican Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/1490445818586-HDHGBRMZW62U01XAR6IO/WAD_Twitter_White.jpg How I got here - Co Founder & Co Director Co Founder & Co Director - Wide Awake Devon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/1490453453134-MJSA1VXO4TTIT6JOWKOV/IMG_2710.JPG How I got here - Executive Director Executive Director - Situations (Katie Paterson, Hollow, 2015) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/1490459762701-5RGHW1Z7EKMXIPNRUQZ2/BC42919A-8F05-4254-BB83-86E6458AEE81.JPG How I got here - Action Learning Action Learning Set https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/1494934348556-201U6JQDZJE5C65Y3IE3/library-board-photo.jpg How I got here - Trustee Trustee - Libraries Unlimited https://www.emilywilliams.co.uk/hello daily 1.0 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/adea7dc3-edac-4605-b5fe-9407972f1e93/Emily+Williams+Theatre+Bristol+Headshot+copy.JPG Hello Credit: Paul Blakmore https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/1700490259724-V4Z2KFULVCIM0TC62PHR/image-asset.jpeg Hello - Before now: I am the former CEO of Theatre Bristol (2020-23) where I led the organisation through a period of immense change and delivered programmes of work designed to develop and support the sector, providing opportunities, networks, resilience and lobbying for better conditions, particularly for those most underserved in our industry.

Planets! People!/Molly Naylor I am worked with Molly Naylor between December and April 2019 to produce the tour of her latest work Lights! Planets! People! Renowned space scientist Maggie Hill recently launched a career-defining mission to find habitable planets. It didn't go well. Shortly afterwards, her girlfriend stopped speaking to her. She's going to have to address both of these catastrophes. Maggie is giving a lecture about her career, to inspire young women to work in science. She's also attending her first therapy session, in which she's at pains to state how her bipolar disorder isn't relevant to the conversation. The spaces overlap as we begin to build a picture of Maggie's greatest achievements and biggest regrets. LIGHTS! PLANETS! PEOPLE! is an intimate and exhilarating story about communication, both interpersonal and intergalactic.

The North! June 2017 - September 2017 Created and performed by Chris Harrisson. The North! The North! The North! The North! is a surreal noir with physical storytelling and projected animation. It's a story about trauma and myth-making, with sweat and violence and lots of dancing. It begins with a phone call, outside a club at 3am. A young man seeks vengeance and his quest will lead him back to where it all began: the dark and bloody heart of the North. https://www.emilywilliams.co.uk/about daily 0.75 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/1698682737280-GYDKULHJGAP23GJROQQ0/GettyImages-517716450.jpg About - About Me: https://www.emilywilliams.co.uk/currentwork-1 daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/2317a674-3d50-462e-bba0-46f63d47b486/beyond+face+image.jpeg Current Work - Beyond Face - Executive Associate Working with NPO Beyond Face to support recruitment, business planning, organisational development and fundraising. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d658adbf629acc7bcc83e0/1706534980300-INXH0VZ3SK7YPG7MQ3C3/image-asset.jpeg Current Work - Coach & Mentor I work with people to realise their potential.
