Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, The Strindberg Laboratory will create theater engagement programming that actively and intentionally includes participants and audiences from diverse walks of life to help build bridges between individuals and communities that are normally separated. We do this by creating community-driven workshops, pop-up events, and productions for underserved participants and audiences, with all of our programming and performances offered free-of-charge.

Organization Summary

The Strindberg Laboratory (TSL) provides theater workshops, facilitates training, shepherds productions to otherwise marginalized communities. Our core organizational programs have included Break It To Make It, an unprecedented partnership that provides an integrated pipeline of support through theater arts, higher education, and rehabilitative service for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. Another core TSL service is our Community-Based Workshops. In recent years, TSL has worked with homeless, LGBTQ+, and autism spectrum communities, with some of these workshops culminating in public productions. The third core aspect of TSL’s programming is our community-driven productions. In this regard, TSL is developing a new production of “Macbeth,” and also co-created “No Labels, No Walls,” an international arts group working for a more inclusive and equal world. The group launched with its first festival in September 2019, which took place in Helsinki, Finland.
