A NEW DRESS FOR EMMA with Lise Rodgers

The collaboration of an actress, a costumier and their muse – Jane Austen.

When work started on a new production to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of Emma, it was clear from the beginning that a new costume was essential. This is a conversation that explores its creation and the relationship between words, fabric and performance.

LISE RODGERS is an accomplished Melbourne actress whose career has spanned stage, screen and radio. An interest in the world and characters of Jane Austen is the inspiration behind her series of ‘Jane’ performances.
