Ersian is a creative solution seeker and arts advocate with an international arts management background. Her experience onstage and off spans from Baroque opera to contemporary theatre. As General Manager/Associate Producer, Ersian manages the daily financial and administrative operations of The Lab, and supports a wide range of artistic projects at the intersection of politics and performance. She has served on a grant committee for Opera America; collaborated with The Folger Shakespeare Library, The Avalon Theatre, and the Bowie Center for Performing Arts to create community-centric events; and is the co-creator of the acclaimed family program Opera Starts with Oh! Online. While living in Paris, Ersian worked with the Choir and Orchestra of Sorbonne Universities, Jérémie Rhorer’s Le Cercle de l’Harmonie, Raphaël Pichon’s Pygmalion, and co-founded the Karaïb Festival in Île-de-France. She holds an MA in Music Administration and Management from Sorbonne Université in Paris and was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago.
At a time characterized by polarization and distrust, the need for approaches that humanize others through narrative and empathy has never been greater. The Lab is dependent on outside funding in order to make our work possible.
