About DBR Lab
DBR Lab is a class, collective, and experience where individual ideas and group collaborations, form a singular space where artists and audiences can engage. In our Lab, we are all contributors (we don't use the word "student"), contributing to a classroom and world of new ideas, promise, and possibility.
Lab members have presented at or collaborated with Mesa Arts Center, The Kerr Center, Burning Man, Herberger Institute Day, APAP, BAM Opera House, Carnegie Hall, among many others. Members of the Lab have met and had creative conversations with Helga Davis, Ron K. Brown, Martha Gonzalez, members of Anda Union, Paola Prestini (Founder, National Sawdust), and Skyler Badenoch (CEO, Hope for Haiti Foundation).
DBR Lab was founded by Daniel Bernard Roumain, is managed by Malena Grosz, and operates in close collaboration with DBR Music Productions, SOZO Artists, and is in residence at the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University.
