Flux Theatre Ensemble produces transformative theatre that explores and awakens the capacity for change. As an ensemble-artist driven company, we believe that long-term collaboration and rigorous creative development can unite artists and audiences to build a creative home in New York.
CORE VALUES These values live in all aspects of our work and in every point of contact with our community.
Joy: We love what we do, we have fun doing it, and we want to inspire that passion in others.
Compassion: We practice contagious empathy and mutual respect.
Collaboration: Our process is inclusive, transparent, and sustained through long term partnerships.
Creativity: We extend the imaginative act beyond that stage into our administrative practices.
Excellence: We take risks to make great theatre and challenge ourselves to improve every day.
AESTHETIC VALUES Flux’s aesthetic is ensemble-artist driven and evolves according to the needs of our community.
Character-Driven: Our plays are illuminated by human choices, by how people change, and through the conflict and consequences of their actions.
Structural Complexity: Our plays contain layered worlds, multiple stories and shifting perspectives that cohere into a dynamic whole.
Juxtaposition: Our plays embrace collisions of different tones, styles and genres - often within a single moment.
Transformative Staging: Our plays take a single element (e.g. an actor, prop, set piece) and use it in multiple ways, trusting the rough magic of theatre and the audience’s imagination to build layers of meaning.
Moral Ambiguity: Our plays allow contradictory forces equal presence and challenge conventional notions of absolute right.
Audience Intimacy: Our plays seek the most direct route to share the experience of the characters with the audience to inspire collective catharsis.
