Led by composer and interdisciplinary artist Paola Prestini together with creative team Ogemdi Ude (dance, theater and interdisciplinary artist) and Daniel Oxenhandler (filmmaker), participants will explore the intersection of art and science and use the tools of film, movement, and sound to answer the question: What can I solve through my practice that doesn’t currently exist?
YoungArts Lab: Los Angeles (April 17-20, 2026)
Led by H. Adam Harris, a multidisciplinary storyteller and cultural strategist and David Rue, a curator and movement artist, participants will be challenged to think beyond the traditional boundaries of their artistic disciplines and explore questions around what is memorialized and how art shapes collective memory.
