Entrepreneurship & Monetizing Your Passions

Jasmin wraps up Ensemble with some parting thoughts on key learnings and provocations that emerged throughout the season.

In the last episode of Ensemble, we reflect on our time studying New York's revival and its relation to performing art, and discuss what we collectively imagine is coming next for the city.

Our final stage is performance in everyday life, from digital stages like Instagram to intimate rooftop kickbacks.

We stop by Washington Square Park and stroll through Soho to see how New York artists are claiming the streets as their stage.. from buskers to fashion icons.

Jasmin and Montana hit the streets after dark to study performance at New York's iconic nightlife staples.

We head to Hudson Yards and Chelsea, home to untraditional performing arts institutions who are challenging the essence of what a "stage" is and can be.

We visit Broadway to reminisce on the set routines and rituals that come with performance, and start to identify how these traditions are being challenged based on new cultural norms and needs emerging from the pandemic.

As the curtain rises and shows begin once again, we visit Uptown Manhattan to take a look at how audiences and performers are returning the stage.

Montana and Jasmin meet for drinks in Soho and chat about the reawakening of New York City and what inspired "Ensemble."

Montana introduces the origins of the Ensemble project and gives you a glimpse at what you'll hear this season.
