Method Lab
In partnership with hÅb.
Method Lab seeks to nurture and support artists as they first emerge into public performance. The aim of the lab is to offer physical and intellectual for emergent artists to develop their work in a supportive environment.
Artists receive a package of support including a small commission, rehearsal space, mentoring, peer support and access to technical resources in order to present the developed piece at the Method Lab showcase in April. Artists are selected through the emergency platform, and must present work at emergency to be eligible for Method Lab selection.
