Em Chandler

More than once a stranger has said, “No offence, but you look like an elf”, which Em takes as a compliment! After all, elves are both tale spinners and weavers of magic…

Em Chandler (she/they) is a proud queer/trans storyteller, magician, and theatre-maker based in Ballaarat and Naarm (Melbourne). With over a decade of experience working with kids and their adults, Em adores connecting with others through kindness and wonder. She loves to bring her unique repertoire of spells, stories and songs to every situation – whether intimate community events and private functions or major festivals like Firelight Festival and Midsumma Carnival. In 2023, Em was cast in Lemony S Puppet Theatre’s new work CROW KID, premiering the show in Korea, before touring through Regional Victoria. Elsewhere, Em has also worked with acclaimed theatre-makers and creatives Anthony Crowley, Rick Chew, A Blanck Canvas, and Sister Grimm.

The Sydney Morning Herald describes Em as “pure enchantment”.
