The exciting collaboration between The Vault/ Coal Mine Theatre continues as Rock Bottom movement presents a brand new original work from the wild and genius choreography brain of Alyssa Martin, with principal ballet dancer of the National Ballet of Canada Spencer Hack. Rock Bottom Movement takes over The Vault this Spring to rip up the floor with a Public Lab of The Channel. What does this entail? You’ll have to find out.
The essential purpose of
The Vault Creation Lab
is to support and prioritize the writer's journey and their creative process. Throughout their development process with The Vault, writers will have access to space, resources, audience feedback, and technical elements in order to develop and uncover the complete potential of their work.
A ground-breaking component of the The Vault will be our Public Labs (our first launched in April) . These public labs invite audiences in on a critical stage of development: when a play is ready for audience feedback and exchange. The purpose of these labs is to give the playwright a chance to test, develop and focus their work with the presence and input of a live audience.
