Mission

The Theatre Research Ensemble, or TReE, is a New York City performance ensemble that produces theatre and public engagement series.  We are researching how performance can meet civic action to transform our city’s interactions.

TReE offers workshops, performances and demonstrations based on the models of the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association, the Living Theatre, Eugenio Barba, Herbert Blau, Jerzy Grotowski, Augusto Boal, Anne Halprin, Antero Alli and many others.  Our group serves its members by providing a home for participants to exchange ideas, build community, cultivate collaboration and by supporting our creative practices.

TReE is sponsored by Fractured Atlas, and a registered member of the Network of Ensemble Theatres (NET).
