Emma Mary Hall (1981) is an actor, theatre maker and writer from Melbourne, Australia who makes solo performances. This summer she will participate in Theatre Oostblok's new International Artist in Residence summer program to develop her third piece, World Problems, hatched during a Cultureland residency in Starnmeer, North Holland. World Problems is an experimental performance about ecological change and collective action.

World Problems is trying to open up a conversation between these perspectives and activate people to understand what it means to fully engage in the world around them. Emma is interested in how residents, like young professionals and international people living in Amsterdam (East), put down roots in cities that are not their own. We want Amsterdam residents to enter into this conversation and claim the space and ideas as their own, before the final performances of World Problems on 31st August and 1st September. So please join us this evening for a talk and discussion with this artist. Entrance is free.
