“We were deeply moved and inspired by the 190 applications we received from 60 countries, and it is a tremendous thrill and honor to welcome this brilliant, courageous and visionary new group of Fellows. Taken together their work – as performers, writers, directors, producers, scholars, change-makers and leaders – could not be more diverse or expansive. But what excites us most is their appetite and generous energy toward being part of and contributing to a larger cohort, and to engaging deeply with an expansive network of other artists. We look forward to the vital, innovative, and boundary-crossing work all of them are poised to do individually and as a powerful cohort.” -Lab Co-Founding Director Derek Goldman
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.
