Brave New Works Lab 2025 at OZ Arts

Celebrate local innovation and creativity with a bold evening of entirely original short-form performances featuring dance, theater, music, and multimedia. The fourth-annual Brave New Works Lab invites daring Nashville artists to transform OZ Arts into a laboratory for the creation and premiere of new works and works-in-progress. Encouraging multimedia experimentation and collaboration across disciplines, the lab creates a safe space for high-risk artistic adventures.

Following up on the success of 2024’s ambitious Lab presentations, this year’s program features a new dance work inspired by the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, a collaboration exploring the interplay between gumboot and step dance, a trippy live music and multimedia experience, and a fresh Hip-hop dance creation.
