Award-winning Blessed Unrest Theatre Company is holding auditions for our Training Ensemble! We are seeking humans, storytellers, movers, actors & dancers who want to be a part of a community committed to the exploration of time, space and text in order to better ourselves and the world.
​​
We are intentionally seeking individuals that make up the rich multi-cultural identities of NYC and beyond. We believe that every body has a unique story to tell, and acknowledge that the collision of race, gender, cultural background & other identities brings necessary and important elements to the creation of well-rounded art. We invite and welcome these complexities to our Ensemble.​
The Training Ensemble meets twice a month in NYC locations, for 4 hours per session, delving deep into physical practices & techniques that we’ve been developing for over 20 years to continually expand the possibilities for transformation and rich theatre-making.
​​
Do you have an interest in joining a community like this? Perhaps you’ve always wanted to but have never had the opportunity? Do you have a unique cultural perspective on how bodies move through space? Are you a mover/performer and seek a community of diverse, like-hearted individuals to keep you fresh and responsive to the world around you? Blessed Unrest can be a home for you!

Yale Innovation Summit
Artistic Director, Jessica Burr was honored to be a part of the Arts & Innovation: Centering Creators in the Creative Economy panel at the annual Yale Innovation Summit which, for the very first time ever included an Arts Track, helmed by the Midnight Oil Collective. Watch excerpts from the panel below.
“What happens is that the surrounding structures get valued more than the art itself, more than the process. We are supposed to make something from nothing in about three weeks' time. If we are going to be allowed to do our job in society: to see your heart, to heal your soul, to understand the inside of the human condition, we need to be allowed process. We need time, we need resources.”
