Join us in 2026 for the second in our Babel Labs series - designed for dancers, physical theatre artists, and performance makers ready to expand their tools and deepen their practice.
Co-led by Associate Director Valerie Uchechukwu Ebuwa and Artistic Director Joseph Lynch, this Lab focuses on Solo Making - building work for and on your own body. A deep dive into the art of making solo performance, where you'll discover frameworks for structure, dramaturgical thinking, and staying connected to yourself.
Drawing on contemporary dance and physical theatre techniques, this weekend will help you:
Structure solo work with clarity and confidence
Hold your own attention and make bold choices
Apply dramaturgical thinking to your solo practice
Craft a solo that feels complete, even when you're the only one in the room
Stay connected to yourself throughout the creative process
Whether you're creating a solo dance piece or a one-person show, this Lab offers practical tools, creative inspiration, and space to take your practice somewhere new - alongside a supportive community of fellow artists.
Who is it for?
This Lab is for dancers, physical theatre artists, theatre-makers, choreographers, and anyone working at the meeting point of dance and theatre.
Whether you're just starting or refining your existing process, you'll leave with fresh tools, deeper clarity, and momentum for your next creative project.
