Celebrate local innovation and creativity with a bold evening of entirely original short-form performances featuring dance, theater, music, and multimedia. This year’s dynamic program features four new works by Eboné Amos, Lenin Fernandez, Jennie Liu & Andrew Gilbert, and Amanda Reichert which utilize original choreography, live music, and projection design to tell new stories.
Now in its fifth year, the Brave New Works Lab has become one of the most important resources for daring Nashville-based artists working in contemporary performance, inviting them 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 and has already served as a crucial incubator for some of the most exciting new work happening in Middle Tennessee.
“One of the most interesting and dynamic presentations of locally grown talent.”
— Nashville Scene
“A crucial incubator for stage artists and collectives experimenting between performing arts disciplines… this platform enables the brewing of boundary pushing works in progress.”
— Music City Review
