‘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)

Gemma has recently played Hedda Gabler for Deadweight. And performed with Complicité in their new show - Drive your Plow over the Bones of the Dead.

She began her career as a founder of Shunt & created central roles for all (devised) shows, including those produced with the National Theatre. Her work as a performer/writer with Silvia Mercuriali has toured internationally.

On screen, she starred in feature, No Light and No Land Anywhere, conceived with multi award-winning director Amber Sealey. She was in the original cast for Chris Thorpe’s There has Possibly been an Incident, nominated by Simon Stephens for the Berliner Festspiele. And she has appeared in many filmworks for Turner Prize winner, Tai Shani.
