The usage of ensemble as a curatorial tool is important to understand my practice. I practice ensemble building in my curatorial methodology, allowing artists to gain deeper meaning about who their work is in conversation with and how their communities are making sense of their work. Ensemble as metaphor is also important to make sense of contextualizing our work in conversation with exhibitions and artists who have showcased the stories, breath, history, and livelihoods about and along a similar canon of work. - Curator, Cheyenne Wyzzard-Jones

“In the Theatre of the Oppressed, the concept of an "ensemble" is radically redefined to dismantle the traditional, hierarchical division between actors and audience. Instead of a fixed cast of professional performers, the ensemble includes everyone involved in the theatrical process, especially the "spect-actors"—a term for audience members who transform into active participants.” We use ensemble, however we replace the term actors with artists and theatre with any form of media, showcase, performance. The use and term of the audience remains the same.
