Performance Lab
Weds, Feb 27, 7pm
In the Studio Theater
New this season, Performance Lab is a continuation of OtB's longstanding commitment to showcasing works-in-progress by artists from across the Pacific Northwest. Artistic risk is a cornerstone of OtB's mission & values: supporting new works by artists from our community is one of the most important ways we manifest this commitment. Each Lab includes a Q&A with the artists, who discuss their pieces and processes with the audience and each other. Performance Lab is curated by Charles Smith, OtB's Curatorial Administrator. This Performance Lab will take place in the refurbished Studio Theater. We will host a short Q&A with the artists at 7 pm, before the performances begin. Learn more about the Performance Lab

how to write your narrative: If someone asked you to write your narrative what would it say? This is the story of a young person coming to terms with their demanding need to find the "right way" to talk about themself, while simultaneously finding no part of life is without subjectivity.
