Winter Laboratory (Winlab)

About Winlab

The Winter Laboratory (Winlab) is a two to three week festival centered around week long intensive workshops with leading international artists, supplemented by drop-in activities and associated evening events for a wider audience.

The workshops offer the opportunity to share the practices of international guest artists and for participants to engage and interact with each other within this framework.

Given the stature of these artists / teachers, and the timing during the holiday period, this is an opportunity particularly suited to working professionals.

Previous Winlabs

Past associated events have included morning warm-ups in different bodywork techniques, evening improvisation classes, discussions, lecture demonstrations and performances. These enable a greater number of artists to take part at a less intensive level and for non-artists to gain insight into artistic process.

Recent workshop leaders have included: Steve Paxton, Bebe Miller, Siobhan Davies, Gill Clarke, Simone Forti, Eva Karzcag, Rosemary Lee, Giovanni Felicioni and Kirstie Simson.

Transcriptions of the open Winlab 2006 discussion centred around improvisation with Eva Karzcag, Jane Carr and Kate Brown:
