RAGGED WING ENSEMBLE

MISSION

Ragged Wing Ensemble’s mission is to catalyze a deep cultural shift where artistic action is at the center of vital social change. We aim to connect artists and audiences through the ritual of live performance, exploring universal questions that span the ancient and contemporary. We engage in the study and practice of Ensemble, collaboratively creating new, interdisciplinary works and activating the next generation of artistically engaged citizens.

HISTORY

Ragged Wing Ensemble is a physical, ensemble theater company that has been producing original work in the East Bay since 2004. Ragged Wing has performed in eight venues in Oakland, Berkeley and Richmond, CA involving hundreds of local artists, and presenting to thousands of audience members. In 2006, we were named the “Best New Theater Company in the East Bay” by the East Bay Express. In 2010, we started our Youth Ensemble and formalized our group of Core Artists. In 2013, after being fiscally sponsored for the life of our organization, we received our non-profit status. In 2014, after being nomadic for nearly 10 years, Ragged Wing is opening The Flight Deck, a shared, multi-disciplinary arts space and performance venue in downtown Oakland that will become a home for performing artists in the East Bay.
