Blessed Unrest

About Blessed Unrest

Blessed Unrest, now in our 24th year, is a subversive physical theatre ensemble that transforms new and classic plays into channels for unexpected alchemy, energetic discomfort, and complex articulation. Through a dedicated, diverse ensemble, and a rigorous training and devising process, we are fueled by the innate human desire to collaborate, the thrill of the impossible challenge, and the instinctual need to rebel.

We have staged 40 productions (24 world premieres) at New York Theatre Workshop, New Ohio Theatre, PS122, Mabou Mines, Theaterlab, Public Theater, Baruch Performing Arts Center, Interart Theatre, NYU, Columbia, Manhattan School of Music, The Tank, and Provincetown Tennessee Williams Festival. We have toured Western Europe and the Balkans three times with original multilingual plays created with Teatri Oda of Kosovo. We have held developmental and production residencies at New Victory Theater, New Ohio Theatre, IRT, and Women’s Interart Theatre.

We were honored with a commendation for distinguished leadership from the Kennedy Center ACTF National Awards Committee (2019), First Prize at the 2016 Secondo Theatre Festival (Switzerland), and the 2014 Cino Award for Sustained Excellence from the NY Innovative Theatre Awards, from whom we’ve received five other awards among 17 nominations (including Outstanding Production and Choreography/Movement). Artistic Director Jessica Burr received the 2011 LPTW Lucille Lortel Award for her work as a director and the body of work we have created under her leadership.
