Performance Lab Berlin ist ein interdisziplinäres Performance-Projekt, ansässig in Berlin. Es wurde 2006 von der Choreografin und Regisseurin Shannon Sullivan und der Schriftstellerin und Performerin Joey Juschka gegründet. Performance Lab Berlin führt eigene Produktionen durch und präsentiert jährlich das Event SWAN Day Berlin (Support Women Artists Now Day). Dazu bietet es Fokus-Workshops für PerformerInnen zu unterschiedlichen Themen. Das “Lab” in Performance Lab Berlin kommt von “Labor”: unser Fokus ist auf das Experimentieren und die Entdeckung ungewöhnlicher Kombinationen und Mischungen mit kraftvollen Auswirkungen gerichtet. Wir fördern Grenzüberschreitungen, gegenseitige Inspiration und die Erfindung neuer Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten.
