What We Do
We only create new plays from scratch, so how we make is as important to us as what we make.
How We Work
Leadership
What defines us as a true ensemble is that we come together as a collection of individuals to create a unified voice. A unified voice means there is no sole decision-maker — the decisions are an organic extension of the group as a whole. Our leadership team is there to provide the framework and structure for the process that enables the ensemble to build and create as one.
Creation
We build our work using exercises designed to create without edit, resulting in spontaneous, honest creativity. These include free writing to inspire text and story, improvising on musical themes, viewing images to provoke evocative movement, and creating stream-of-consciousness text.

(All of our creation rehearsals are open to visitors, so if you are interested, send us a note and we can set something up.)
How We Work
Performance
From countless compositions built, we keep only what best tells the story. Whatever doesn’t fit falls away almost naturally. What’s left is something completely unique to the artists who built it.
We’ve been making new plays this way since 2005, but we’re never afraid to try new things or explore new methods. Our work changes and evolves, but at the heart, we combine long-term planning with intense, in-the-moment creation to make something none of us could have imagined alone. That is why we love ensemble theatre.
