About

The Design Lab is a unique digital-hybrid mentorship program for emerging artists passionate about design for live performance. The Design Lab switches design discipline each time it runs, switching between Lighting Design, Sound Design, Costume Design, and Projection Design! This hands-on lab is designed to help you develop your craft, explore new creative processes, and collaborate within a supportive community of artists.

Two artists are accepted to the Design Lab program. Under the guidance of professional mentors, you will build the skills and confidence to bring your ideas to life on stage in partnership with artists from the Directors Lab program.
