Short Description
Working with Ensembles: Worlds Made Visible by Exploring Literary and Non-literary Vocabularies
Alvin Tan

An ensemble comprises a group of actors working on a project over a substantial period of time. It was impossible in the late 80s and early 90s to employ actors full time, but dedicated ones stayed long enough to workshop a play to fruition.

Two separate ensembles were there with us for Lanterns and More. By the mid-90s, a full-time ensemble came onboard for Hope and Talk 1. Working with ensembles also gave rise to developing physical vocabularies which were applied effectively to More and Talk 1.
