LAB is The Industry’s performance platform supporting experiments in opera.
Curated by The Industry’s artistic directors, Ash Fure, Malik Gaines, and Yuval Sharon, LAB will feature three creative teams in a week-long workshop of new material by Mariah Garnett, Richard Kennedy, and H Sinno. Moving fluidly between the opera and visual art worlds, this year’s LAB artists explore challenging migrations, revolutionary insurrections, and the body-politics of voice. Audiences can witness all three works-in-progress in an all-day mini-festival on December 17 at LATC in Downtown Los Angeles.
“As Ash, Malik and I develop our own projects for The Industry, the three of us have been working together to identify opportunities for brilliant artists to experiment with the art form of opera. We are excited to open up these works-in-progress to our audience to experience new perspectives and fresh creations.” -Yuval Sharon, Co-Artistic Director
