Mission Statement
Ensembl’arts Group interprets a story or idea through the multifaceted lens of sound, image, and movement.
Ensembl’arts is dedicated to the production of multidisciplinary concerts, educational events and virtual performances during the year and in collaboration with other ensembles.
Based in Montreal, Ensembl’arts is at the forefront of multidisciplinary creation and performance by combining the disciplines of instrumental music, dance and choreography, live-painting and visual arts.
Values
Our collaboration highlights equal performance space for each of the three disciplines involved; there is no hierarchy of the arts in our multidisciplinary projects. This visual representation of equal involvement between disciplines is important as it reflects how the work was created and embodies the exploratory approach that Ensembl’arts brings to each new work.
This equal involvement is mirrored throughout our collaborative process as we intertwine artist talks and feedback sessions between the composer, musicians, dancers and visual artists so that creative input comes from many sources.
Each member within the ensemble is called to work together with an openness of mind and spirit, a willingness to experiment in new performance formats in collaboration with artists from different artistic backgrounds and training.
Groupe Ensembl’arts has a diverse board and team which represent Official Language minorities, visible minorities and its members and artists are from a range of economic and cultural backgrounds.
The values of the founders include a good remuneration for all artists and technicians, according to or above fee schedules set by CARFAC, GMMQ and RAAV, as well as a dedication to making social and environmentally conscious decisions in the production of works.
