About this role
LAB Oost is an initiative in Nijmegen and Arnhem for a new generation of performing artists who create work for an audience from 4 to 18 years old. LAB Oost was founded in 2024 and has hosted three Labs since then. Two residency positions are also available in 2026: three working weeks in which you experiment, conduct research and test your work for a young audience. The residency will be concluded with presentations in Theater Het Badhuis, Theater a/d Rijn and Stadsschouwburg Nijmegen (on location). What is LAB Oost? LAB Oost is a development place for youth performing arts. We want to encourage experimentation and innovation in the performing arts for young audiences. We want to challenge emerging makers to research and develop relevant stories and new forms for today's young audience. We offer expertise and guidance in artistic and organizational areas and create a context in which exchange and feedback with young audiences and colleagues are central.
