Who are we
Broad Encounters creates, presents and tours unique multi-sensory, immersive live theatre productions that ignite the imagination, engage the senses and immerse audiences in brave new worlds.
Introducing bold new visions of how audiences can engage and interact with creative work and ideas, Broad Encounters works at the frontier of contemporary Australian productions, curating remarkable experiences that blend forms, shatter conventions, transform spaces and inspire imagination.
The company is led by founder and creative director, Kirsten Siddle, who has held artistic leadership roles with Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), Melbourne Recital Centre and the Barbican, London.
