“Brave, surprising and beautiful - wild and wolf-like.”
Doon Mackichan, Bafta award-winning actress and comedian.
A poetic yet unflinching glimpse into breast cancer diagnosis and recovery.
In riveting, intimate performances Emma brings vulnerable detail, incisive wit and universal truths to the story of what cancer does to a body, a mind, family relationships, and spiritual understanding.
Breastless is a poetic and poignant story of being given the diagnosis of every woman’s worst fear – breast cancer. But this seemingly stark and far too common story is breathtakingly beautiful and at times heartwarmingly humorous. It draws you into the intimate details that we so often want to avoid, yet, Emma’s ability to weave a path through the darkness then guide us back into the light, is a testament to her strength as a human being and the indelible mark she is leaving as an artist.

MY VISION & MISSION FOR BREASTLESS.
“I am left here asking; what do I cherish about myself? My body? My mind? Or something more?”
I hope to encourage everyone to ask themselves this question.
I urge us all to compassionately consider what role our stories and resultant behaviours play in our physiology, our health and our diagnoses.
I am passionate about doing my part to change the mainstream narrative on breast cancer and society’s objectification of breasts.
I hold a vision of research into the prevention of causes of breast cancer superseding the search for a cure.
I want to open dialogue that contributes to the healing of our assumption that expert medical authority is paramount and instead put medical expertise within the context of a patient’s sovereignty and responsibility for their health and wellbeing.
