Unfinished Fridays
A monthly performance event where LAKE resident artists and invited guests present work-in-progress. The evening includes a post-showing discussion where audience and artists engage in dialogue about the work presented.
Unfinished Fridays are centered on the idea that the performance of a work before it is “finished” affords a possibility of transformation that is not available from the rehearsal process alone. The feedback exchange with an audience further supports the ongoing process of artistic creation. These events are a chance for artists to experiment with how their work stands in the frame of a performance, as well as an opportunity for the public to connect with the work unfolding at LAKE Studios
