Through the award-winning Aurora Energy Community Enrichment Program, the Tasmanian Theatre Company manages a series of programs for young people and communities throughout the state. The most significant of these programs is the Second Echo Ensemble – Tasmania’s only integrated performance ensemble of young people with and without disabilities.
She loves me. She likes me. He is my son. She is my sister. He is my enemy. He catches the same bus as me. She has our mother’s eyes. She is our mother.
The Company I Keep takes on many forms. At a doorstep, ten people arrive and prepare for a first date. At a sink, a father teaches a son how to shave. On a bench, two people sit and leave it for us to know who they are, to each other.
There are people with and without disabilities, just as there are people with and without brothers, or wives, or dancing partners, or company: the company I lack, and the company I keep. What you will know about me, is who I know. Who I am, is who I am to them.
