At least five artists are selected annually to engage in a nine-month residency Fellowship (October 1 - June 30), during which the artists may develop new works, interact and collaborate with fellow artists, and engage in critical dialogue and thought about new ideas in contemporary live performance. Each LAB Fellow is given use of the studio space for a minimum of six weeks time during their Fellowship year. In addition, a curriculum designed to underscore artistic creative processes is explored, including organized peer meetings/discussions (with other Fellows), work-in-progress showings, critiques by visiting artists, at least one presentation in the Live Arts Second Thursday Series, and other programming TBD. LAB Fellows engage in ongoing activities that encourage them to share in their process of creation. An open mind and a willingness to share with others is essential.

In addition to free studio time and the ongoing curriculum, LAB Fellows receive a stipend of $5000.

A LAB Fellowship is entirely dedicated to research, process, and development. There is no expectation of a final performance or production outside of informal showings as part of the Fellowship curriculum. Artists are expected to partake in all of the curriculum activities which will generally include a meeting or workshop once a month.
