The Soul Director Residency
Overview
The SOUL Directing Residency Program offers a demanding yet stimulating environment for a Black director to build exposure, establish New York City credentials, and, above all, refine technical and creative skills. Each cycle is at least 18 months.
THE SOUL SERIES LAB (Liberating Artistic Bravery) is a contemporary laboratory for accelerating and creating innovative new work by cutting-edge artists rooted in NBT’s pedagogy.
