North American Cultural Laboratory (NACL)

About

The North American Cultural Laboratory (NACL) offers the Deep Space Performance Residency, a program specifically designed for artists and ensembles working on the fringes of mainstream performance art. Located in Highland Lake, New York, this residency focuses on experimentation and the development of new works. Residencies typically last one week and provide artists with access to the NACL performance hall and artist residence. The program culminates in a public sharing, which can vary in format depending on the development stage of the work. This can include a complete performance, work-in-progress, staged reading, or demonstration. NACL emphasizes a deep engagement with the creative process, encouraging artists to explore and refine their work extensively during their stay. The residency operates on a rolling application basis, fostering long-term relationships with artists whose visions align with NACL's mission of pushing the boundaries of performance art.
