We bring people together through theatre and storytelling
EmberArts creates opportunities to forge shared realities. We use applied theatre to deepen ties, overcome barriers and embrace each other’s humanity.
EmberArts is an applied theatre company that provides:
━ Professional Development
We provide professional development for educators in the arts, social sciences, humanities and DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) fields.
━ Reminiscence
Participants share stories from their memories, and EmberArts curates and produces a retelling for the participants' community or organization. The culminating event can be performed by participants, or the EmberArts team or a mix of both.
━ Community Projects
We create projects with any and all - such as community centers, congregations of faith, educators, incarcerated populations, among others.
━ Experiential Learning
We design learning experiences and workshops that utilize applied theatre activities, including process dramas, Forum Theatre and more. For participants ages 12 and up.
What IS Applied Theatre?
Theatre and theatrical techniques used outside of a traditional theatre setting for purposes other than pure entertainment
It’s about identity, storytelling, and connection.
Theatre is the powerful tool that helps us get there.
Through the power of theatre, EmberArts:
Strengthens communication skills
Ignites imaginations
Poses questions and creates a framework for exploration of those questions
