Who we are

Bask Theatre is everything we love about quality, home-soil productions. Headed by Artistic Director, Ella Waterman, and Executive Producer, Tully Jones, Bask develops theatre that is spirited and fearless. Inspired by our understanding of place, belonging, and the Australian identity, we foster truth and innovation, whilst channelling the Australian voice. We are dedicated to presenting relevant stories, old and new, based in truth, and fiction; each showcasing a variety of style, form and experiences. Engaging directly with emerging and seasoned artists, Bask assembles gritty work with no holds barred, ensuring the stories we tell are felt, and remembered. So please, soak it all in.

Growing up in the Fremantle area, and spending much of her youth exploring regional West Australia, Ella’s connection to the land and the Australian identity is a large motif of her work.
