Focused on collaboratively creative performance companies, From the Ground Up connects with theatremakers to understand the artistic, financial, and social sustainability of physical, devised, and ensemble-based processes. Previous topics include hands-on devising practices, aesthetic principles, financial oversight, academic and community partnerships, nonprofit and philanthropic navigation, social justice, festival culture, and touring. To showcase examples for American ensemble practitioners, this podcast documents the individual roadmaps and efforts of makers from around the world. This series draws upon Host/Producer Jeffrey Mosser’s experience as ensemble creator, director, and producer, and his passion for this form as a vital part of the theatrical landscape.
