HartBeat Ensemble creates provocative theater that connects our community beyond traditional barriers of race, gender, class, and geography.

HartBeat Ensemble’s work is in, with, and through the community. Essential to this work is a shared sense of wonder with its participants. Through their work, they recognize that a community uplifted by the power of justice finds itself open to wonder yielding more truth and again more justice in a virtuous circle until justice achieves its goal: liberation. The spirit of this cycle—the simple beauty and raw disruption of it—is at the heart of the brand we are creating for HeartBeat.
