High Seas Alliance

DIVE is a bold, original performance project by acclaimed artist, actress, songwriter, diver and ocean activist EM The Master. Blending sharp comedy, storytelling, music and theatre, DIVE brings the ocean to life on stage—turning complex marine issues into accessible, moving, and often hilarious performance. An ongoing project, DIVE’s mission is to spread ocean awareness, empathy and to inspire and empower individuals to take action across the globe.Fresh off its acclaimed West End performance—premiering at Soho’s Crazy Coqs and later transferring to Charing Cross Theatre to rave reviews—DIVE now arrives in New York in partnership with the High Seas Alliance, to mark the launch of New York Climate Week and the UN General Assembly, celebrating the historic ratification and entry into force of the High Seas Treaty.

DIVE has shown its power to inspire real-world impact. Audiences have reported tangible behavioural change—reducing plastic use, rethinking consumption, and engaging more deeply with ocean conservation. Each performance features expert voices from the field, including marine ecologist Dr. Max Bodmer in London and Rebecca Hubbard, Director of the High Seas Alliance, in New York.

DIVE is available for performances of all scales and formats—from single songs at topic-specific events, to short sets, to the full theatrical show.

Drawing from her experiences as a diver, conservationist, and ocean advocate, Em continually creates original work and is available for commissions tailored to your event, campaign, publication, or online platform. If you’re an environmental or ocean-focused organization looking to incorporate powerful music or performance into your message, please reach out to discuss a custom piece aligned with your goals.
