The Labs are about pushing boundaries and expanding practice. They encourage artists to think beyond the immediate, and begin imagining works of scale for festivals, independent platforms and new audiences.

Just like a science lab, ideas incubate, react and evolve into powerful new works.

Beyond the Labs cohort artists are supported to research and develop and idea with program and producer support.

Our intensive Lab program supports bold ideas need space to unfold and take shape.

The foundation of Generate GC, the Labs are interdisciplinary spaces where cohort artists are invited to experiment, collaborate and take creative risks. Over eight days, participants engage in a process of exploration, guided by a team of Provocateurs —experienced artists, curators and designers — who bring deep knowledge from a range of artforms as well as national and international contexts.

Following the Lab, artists are supported through a funded Research and Development phase with mentorship from the Program Producer. The program culminates in a Creative Development stage, where artists build partnerships, pitch for presentation opportunities and continue growing a strong professional network.
