FullStop.LAB
FullStop.LAB is the creative incubator of the Collective’s signature work. The LAB is designed to nurture the growth of long-term projects conceived by Collective leaders.
The LAB provides support in four areas:
- Time, to create without a performance deadline;
- Space, to explore both physically and intellectually;
- Funding, to financially release participating artists so they can focus on the work;
- Community, to respond to the process via creative support and workshop feedback.
The goal of the LAB is to cultivate ambitious ideas into performance-ready pieces, and collaboratively illuminate a unique future path for each project.
Current Project
Ghost Card
Led by Megan Weaver and Hassan Christopher
A voyeuristic gang of hungry ghosts feed on the stories of the living through this audience interactive, card-game-turned-performance. Enslaved to the rules of chance, eight unruly ghosts and an obsessed card dealer relive true, crowdsourced tales through contemporary dance and a host of irreverent storytelling tactics.
