Members of our Lab team received the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland as part of a celebration of the 110th birth anniversary of Jan Karski.
The Lab humanizes global politics through performance. We cultivate a distinctive global community of collaborators that includes students, emerging and established artists, educators, policy leaders, and activists. Our work harnesses narrative, memory, and acts of witnessing with the aim of sparking transformation and change.

“That is why I think this effort that The Lab is doing today is so critical…the power of performance, the power of storytelling, and the power of narrative, are absolutely essential. In my mind, they are some of the only things that can actually have an influence on the political dialogue in this very, very peculiar moment in the politics of the United States and Europe.”
“The Lab brings policy experts, employees from the State Department and embassies, American and global theater practitioners, students, and community members that can speak firsthand to the experiences you’re depicting on stage all in the same room-commenting and asking questions of your piece. There is no place besides The Lab that can create a conversation on a play like this. It was invaluable.”
“[The Lab’s] goal is to put a human face on global politics…The nuts and bolts of it is to put people in a room from wildly diverse beliefs, political postures, cultural identities, and have them reckon with these issues that impact millions of lives today.”
