The If /Then Artist Lab explores performance as a divine instrument. How do we as creative beings tune in to higher plane energies? How do we build from the power and magic of collective creative decision-making using trust and intuition alongside structured methods? This lab invites participants and witnesses to engage in fluid combinations of play and ritual - a series of incantations and spells, casting of shells, deconstructing lists of directions & tasks, sculpting a recipe book of invitation, love, & cooperative joy - to encourage collective magic.
The Creative Design Lab (CDL) is an experimental space designed for individuals to explore new ways of devising and designing performance that resonate with the richness of AfroDiasporic cultures and feminist perspectives as they seek to rejuvenate their creative practices.
