Creation labs

Creation Labs are multi-day working sessions for artists in the stage arts who are developing a project or an idea in the early stages of creation. Through an organic process that blends collective and individual work and focuses strongly on playing and improvisation, participants are invited to make an intensive dive into their project or ideas.

Labs can focus on specific disciplines or traditions like clown, or be more open to a mix of disciplines.

The process is sensitively facilitated, following the development of the work, the process and the actual needs at any moment.

  • make or develop performative material or project

  • sharpen playing and performance skills

  • explore new dramaturgical approaches

  • grow your professional and personal practice

  • develop your training

Time is also dedicated to artistic dialogues and reflection, investigating the work through exchange with others and allowing the work to speak for itself. This is often a challenging aspect of creation to do alone, as it is the impact of the others that can set the ideas and materials in motion in unexpected ways.

  • opening up the work to unexpected impacts and directions

  • connect with colleagues across disciplines and backgrounds

  • reflect on your work and on that of others in a way that helps it to unfold

We are looking forward to hearing from you!
Gonzalo Alarcon and Marije Nie from The Offbeat Space
