About voxlab
VoxLab is a developmental live arts laboratory in residence at Dartmouth College, focused on fostering projects by Dartmouth alumni. During the week-long retreat in Hanover, alumni artists develop their works-in-progress in collaboration with current undergraduates. Our goals are to create a space for alumni to experiment, immerse the students in the process of creating new work, and build a more connected community for alumni in the arts.
This year we’re doing something different! The Department is moving back into the Hop over the Summer, and as result we won’t be able to do productions like we have in the past. Instead of pausing or suspending for a year, we’ve decided to treat this year as an opportunity to provide space to artists and writers in the style of a more traditional retreat.
Some things won’t be changing: you will have access to many of the same campus resources; including the various libraries and digital collections, and a private office space to work. There won’t be produced performances at the end of the week, but you will have an opportunity to share work and talk about your practice. Informal readings can be organized with the help of students, should you wish to hear your work out loud. Once again, a central aim of Vox is to give both time and space to artists in a world where both are hard to come by.
VoxLab and the Theater 65 Class
A fundamental part of VoxLab is our collaboration with Theater 65, a course taught during the summer term, that focuses on immersing students in new work development.
During the lab, projects will work closely with students, who, in years past, have performed in, assistant directed, stage managed, designed, and dramaturged pieces. When applying, it is important that you be able to articulate how you might collaborate with the students—part of Vox’s mission is to continue to build up our artistic community, and that includes “future” alumni.
