The Makers' Ensemble is a resident performing arts ensemble made up of multi-faceted theatre actors, musicians, playwrights, designers, directors, and devisers. We are different people. We come from many different places and all have different educational, social, and identity backgrounds, but we primarily work in the intersectional spheres of performance and social justice, and we make that work in the New York metropolitan area. Our long term goal is to make live theatre: a powerful agent for cultural engagement, accessible artistry, and progress towards inclusion, dignity, and radical creativity, but, as COVID has challenged all of our assumptions of art-making, we as a collective have also challenged the type of work we make to expand and adapt with the times. We are dedicated to collective artistic empowerment. We are dedicated to dynamic, diverse, and balanced collaboration. We are dedicated to a symbiotic engagement with a wide range of audiences. We are dedicated to using entertainment, education, action, and radical energy and empathy to challenge, inspire, excite, build, rebuild, repair, restore, recreate, and reimagine.
