Emily Rosannah Davis is a theatre and live events producer, collaborating across sectors and disciplines to bring amazing art to audiences worldwide.

Hello! Thanks for visiting my website. I’m Emily. I’m originally from South Somerset and now base myself between the South West and London. I’m interested in new forms, mischievous ideas, getting my hands dirty and wearing a high-vis.

I am a producer for interactive arts charity Coney, after four years at Farnham Maltings in Surrey, and am associate producer for Poltergeist Theatre. My career has seen me produce theatre and events in unusual spaces, from village halls and primary schools to the City of London’s Guildhall and The Old Bailey, and moonlight as a Live Event Manager for hire. I’ve led projects with Greenpeace, The National Archives, the Goethe-Institut London and the City of London Corporation, and am a recipient of a Stage One Bursary and a DYCP grant in 2022.

I am interested in the collaborative creation of new performance that involves and relies on its audience. Whilst based in the south of England, I want to be constantly working nationally and internationally.

Have a look at my projects so far!
