Leadership - 
Heartbeat was founded in 2014 by our original Co-Artistic Directors Louisa Proske and Ethan Heard, along with our Co-Music Directors Jacob Ashworth and Daniel Schlosberg. Ethan, Louisa, Dan, and
Jacob met at Yale in the Schools of Drama and Music and led the company together through its first seven seasons. Heartbeat is entering a new phase as we move out of our founder-driven first 8
seasons; beginning this summer, both Ethan and Louisa will have stepped down from their leadership positions and will remain on the board. Jacob will begin a one-year term as Interim Artistic
Director to lead the company through the 2022-23 season, during which the organization will conduct a search for a new full-time Artistic Director. Dan will assume the role of Music Director. The
Executive Director will work closely with the Interim Artistic Director to steer us into this next phase.
