NEWThe place where it happens
Once active, the lab will host readings, workshops, and devising intensives that connect directly to DAT’s international hubs.
Cultural exchange
What we learn
We learn what happens when global work lands at home—how to translate, not dilute, what was built abroad.
What we share
We share a home-base rehearsal culture that stays porous to the world: artists come in, learn, and carry it forward.
Community & context
New York City is both DAT’s origin point and future home base. The lab will sit at the crossroads of global and local storytelling.
Shared community needs
- Seed funding to secure consistent rehearsal space
- Support for scholarships so local youth can participate
- Resources to host visiting artists from Ecuador, Slovakia, and beyond
