Local Labs

The Local Labs offer Salzburg-based artists the opportunity to try out their own new concepts, ideas, and approaches, or to join and participate in the research of other local artists.

They serve both as a space to give new processes, which may later find their way onto the stage, the possibility for their first breaths, and as an important networking format through which the Salzburg performance arts scene can exchange ideas and inspire one another.

You can think of a Local Lablike a residency, except that participation is publicly invited (for professional dancers/artists/performers).

A single lab lasts 1-2 weeks and comprises 5 (or 10) morning sessions of 2 hours each. Sessions are typically held Monday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

In 2026, we are offering 5 Local Labs; the first two have already taken place in March (Anna Bárbara Bonatto with “Physical Introspection to be witnessed”) and April (Jonathan Noch with “Sharing Gravity”). The remaining 3 labs are scheduled for the period September-December and are not yet fully curated – if you are interested in sharing your work in a Local Lab, please contact us: office@circustanzlabor.at
