Returning for the second Winter Lab, I with the producer and three other associate artists, helped deliver another successful year of developments, navigating both the first in-person Winter Lab and COVID restrictions at the time.
Responsibilities included scheduling, hosting any zooms, and connecting artists allowing for networking opportunities. As well as contributing to discussions, helping devise and read material for the creators of RESIDUE, REGROWTH and YOU CAN’T GET THERE FROM HERE.
