Theatre Research Ensemble (TREe) Details
The Theatre Research Ensemble, or TREe, is a performance ensemble practicing art-based research focused on expressing the wellness benefits of regular participation in creative community engagement and the artist's emerging role as social healer. We believe that performance is an integrative art that can liberate closed or suppressed spaces of society by creating new dialogues, promoting social wellness, and transmitting inter-cultural wisdoms. We are dedicated to the process of developing new insights into interdependence, educational methods, and social activism. The members of TREe are committed to an open source process based on the advancement of mindful habits.TREe creates workshops and demonstrations through the vehicle of performance methods developed by The Living Theatre, Eugenio Barba, Herbert Blau, Jerzy Grotowski, Augusto Boal, Anne Halprin, and many others. Our community serves its members by providing a home for performance artists to exchange ideas, try out various creative roles, cultivate facilitation skills, and by supporting each others' contemplative practices. TREe is a unique branch of the non-profit organization known as The Interdependence Project. For more visit www.theIDproject.com. TREe is also a registered member of the Network of Ensemble Theatres (NET).
