The Work is an incubator for new performance based in Philadelphia, PA whose mission is to support projects from the earliest phases of research and development in order to encourage collaborating artists to take big risks in form, content and style.
A core principle of The Work is to make The Work accessible to audiences of all ages and abilities, and to build audience by welcoming the community in to the process at every stage of development through workshops and informal sharings. Artistic Director Suli Holum has over 20 years of experience as a creator and performer of new works of theatre, dance and film and as an educator.
The Work will invite audiences in to see projects at every stage of the process, and will also offer opportunities for the community to participate in free workshops led by The Work for hands-on access to the training and experiments involved in the development of new work.
