Artsadmin’s Weekender Labs are workshops led by international artists and are open to all practitioners.
Weekender Labs have been put on hold whilst our artist support programme is primarily delivered online due to the pandemic.
The programme aims to facilitate access to artists working across a wide spectrum of approaches to performance and collaboration, and to bring artists together who may not otherwise meet. The workshops are curated and run in a spirit of play and collective experiment – more of a lab than a masterclass – with the content of each reflecting the lead artist’s own practice while responding to the interests of the people in the room. As such, they are fluid and unpredictable in form, sparking new work and collaborations.
The programme has featured over 30 labs to date, led by artists including Ron Athey, Mamoru Iriguchi, Harold Offeh, Graeme Miller, Station House Opera and Marcus Coates. Sign up to our opportunities for artists newsletter and we’ll let you know as new dates are announced.
“A unique, honest, inspiring, challenging, unusual event. I left feeling it had given me license to make my own work, stand up for and by my reasons for doing it.”
