Ragged Wing Ensemble

Ragged Wing Ensemble was an award-winning ensemble theater company based in Oakland, CA, that captivated audiences for nearly two decades with their original, interdisciplinary performances and art events. With a mission to rouse the human spirit through artistic action, Ragged Wing pushed the boundaries of what art and theater could be, blending artistic disciplines and inviting audiences to join them in the magic of creation. From immersive outdoor events in local parks to their shared black box theater, The Flight Deck, Ragged Wing created thought-provoking and visually stunning shows that explored ancient questions in a contemporary world.

Known for their fierce play and commitment to self-care, the care of their group, and the care of their communities, Ragged Wing Ensemble practiced a fluid and collaborative process that resulted in explosive, inspiring, and daring performances. Their work, found in theaters, galleries, online, and even in the woods, featured large-scale visual design, original music, and adventurous physicality. With a core company of artists and a Visual Arts Core dedicated to exploring themes through visual art, Ragged Wing Ensemble created a powerful dialogue between visual and performing artists, expanding each other's skills and evolving each other's work over time.
