Live|Arts|Lab at Under the Radar

The second edition of L|A|L (“L|A|L.2”) is produced in cooperation with Under The Radar Festival, HowlRound Theater Commons, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and the German Commission of UNESCO. It will be held at the Kenneth C. Griffin Sidewalk Studio, David Geffen Hall, Lincoln Center.

Like each L|A|L, the second edition will focus on one field of the performing arts—the global theater ecosystem. And like each L|A|L, the second edition will contemplate fairness through the frame of one of the principals outline in the “Fair Culture Charter,” in this case Principle #2: “access to diverse cultural expressions and resources,” which draws heavily on the UNESCO’s 2005 “Convention on Diversity of Cultural Expressions.”

L|A|L.2 will bring together 32 thought leaders from across the global cultural ecosystem—from five continents and fifteen countries—to design initiatives that promote the capacities of the theater sectors in disadvantaged communities, nurture culture and arts education, encourage international theater enterprises to follow fair practices, and foster respectful cross-cultural engagement.
