THE ADAPTATIONS LAB is an ongoing workshop series designed for performers of various disciplines to come together in a laboratory of training, collaboration, and exchange. This year, The Adaptations Project is developing a new dance/theatre piece based on the music of Yoko Ono entitled “Rising A Dance Play”. Therefore, the primary focus of this Adaptations Lab will be Viewpoints Training and the use of Music as the source material for generating work. Performers with a working knowledge of Viewpoints are highly encouraged to apply.
