Celebrate local innovation and creativity with a bold evening of entirely original short-form performances featuring dance, theater, music, and multimedia. The fourth-annual Brave New Works Lab invites daring Nashville artists 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.

This year’s projects include a new work from choreographer Stacie Flood-Popp and her dance-theater collective Found Movement Group inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s iconic painting The Garden of Earthly Delights; a collaboration between local choreographer Windship Boyd and South African dancer Tumelo Michael Moloi exploring the interplay between gumboot dance developed during apartheid and the popular step-dance seen at HBCU’s; a trippy live music and multimedia experience from spoken word artist Landry Butler and his Inglewood Social Club jam band; and a fresh dance creation from Hip-hop choreographer Kourtney “Koko” French for a group of stunning dancers exhibiting the limitations of time.
