Brooklyn: meet our 2018 Spring BRIClab artists! 

BRIClab is our commissioning and residency program for local artists working in music, dance, theater and multidisciplinary performance. As part of the program, we encourage artists to learn from their experience and take time to understand how the audience feels about the work. This is where you, the audience, come in! Each BRIClab performance is followed by a dialogue between the artist and audience, where you can provide valuable feedback for the continued development of the work. Learn about these amazing artists and be a part of their process!
