“A sure sign of a thriving arts ecosystem is when you see people collaborating across genres, responding to each other’s work and creating something new.”

– Nashville Scene

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. Following up on the success of 2024’s ambitious Lab presentations, this year’s event promises to be the biggest and bravest Lab yet. 

SUBMIT A PROPOSAL TO BNWL 2025

Projects for the Brave New Works Lab will be selected from an open call for artist proposals, open now through October 7, 2024. Artists from all performance disciplines — and especially teams of artists working across disciplines — are encouraged to apply. There is no fee to submit a proposal for consideration.
