The International Actors Ensemble is a group of artists who met through the 2015 International Actors’ Fellowship at Shakespeare’s Globe in London. 21 actors from 14 countries participated in a three week residency which culminated in a two-hour multi-lingual and multi-cultural exploration of Shakespeare in the world. OUR MISSION is to produce classical revivals that integrate international voices and ideas; to show the universality and timelessness of these plays through multi-lingual, multi-ethnic interpretations; and to expand understanding, compassion, and community across international borders. In today’s increasingly polarized world, art has a responsibility to open hearts and minds by crossing borders: national, cultural, and philosophical and we have been able to ignite artistic partnerships with people from around the word.
