Harness Ensemble
Harness Ensemble, ages 18+
An inclusive group of emerging artists with and without disability, brought together by a passion to develop their practices as young artists through making work that focuses on issues that directly affects them. Artists are given the space to create group based devised theatre work under the guidance of established theatre-makers, and develop their careers through professional mentorship. Shopfront’s award-winning Harness Ensemble is a performance collective committed to making work that is social, political, discomforting, funny and relevant to their individual voices.
