Faultline Ensemble

  • V

    VT

Institution/Business Type: Performing Group

​Faultline is an ensemble of artists, activists and health workers creating work that fosters community resilience.

We value new and emerging artists, prioritize underrepresented stories and participants, and take an antioppressive approach to our art and process.

Founded in 2014, Faultline grew out of the work of the Rosehip Medic Collective and was inspired by community-based performance traditions and alternative models of health education, emergency response, and collective process.

​We operate using an innovative collaborative process and strive to reflect our antioppressive values in both process and performance. Our work includes devised and text-based original performance, as well as unique productions of existing scripts. We are committed to vigorously examining and revising our artistic process in order to maximize its accessibility to queer and trans individuals, people of color, survivors of trauma, individuals living with chronic conditions, and people of a variety of abilities, ages and experiences.
