If you could forget who you think you are, you might catch up with what you really are and can't see.
- V. Ferrini

The Theatre Research Ensemble, or TREe, is a participatory arts ensemble researching how creative practices can lead to a more mindful and sustainable culture.  We believe performance is an integrative art that can revolutionize our inter-personal relations.  We are dedicated to developing insights into interdependence, educational methods, and social activism. 

TREe offers workshops, rituals 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 facilitation skills and by supporting our contemplative practices.  

TREe is a unique branch of the non-profit organization known as The Interdependence Project.  For more visit www.theIDproject.org.  TREe is also a registered member of the Network of Ensemble Theatres (NET).
