‘Gemma Brockis is startlingly talented — she has a bracing realness that is impossible to look away from. I can’t think of any role she wouldn’t make 100 times more interesting with her complexity and that incredible face.’
(Miranda July)
‘I would cast Gemma instantly in a wide range of modern and classical pieces. She is gold in an ensemble company and I certainly can’t wait to work with her again.’
(Kathryn Hunter)
She began her career as a founder of Shunt & created central roles for all their shows, including with the National Theatre. She has travelled internationally in performance duo with Silvia Mercuriali. She performed with Complicité in Drive your Plow over the Bones of the Dead and was in the original cast for Chris Thorpe’s There has Possibly been an Incident, nominated by Simon Stephens for production at the Berliner Festspiele.
She is a expert of immersive theatre - a foundational artist of the form, with her work referenced in multiple publications. She recently played Hedda Gabler for Deadweight.
On screen, she starred No Light and No Land Anywhere, conceived with multi award-winning director Amber Sealey. And she has appeared in many film works for Turner Prize winner, Tai Shani.
