“I’ll never forget that look on my student’s faces when that light bulb turns on. You made it so easy for them. Creative freedom + serious play. I’m not ashamed to say that I learned quite a bit in this workshop too.”
– Sylvia R., Arts & Drama Teacher
In March of 2017, we beta-launched our Enrichment program with the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts through a two-part intensive for students pursuing theatre and visual mediums. The goal, to develop applicable skills and vocabulary to transform a story into a sensorial, immersive performance world. Through learning the basics of story structure, immersive-audience psychology, and story development – an adapted piece of text was organically explored into a fully realized conceptual immersive moment, concluding with a showcase of the groups’ experiments.
The result: an expansion of the conscious container we use to synthesize ideas into something profound, and a well-earned active experience of their work, as well as others. An empathetic connection towards fellow students, with both voices and listening. An increasing curiosity in other subjects, doing all the good things arts typically provide for students.
Our Enrichment efforts have since expanded, and are now diversified between university masterclasses, middle and high school workshops – and are made possible by our partnerships with each school and from advocates and supporters of the arts.
We hope you might consider making a recurring donation to support our growing program of activity.

ARTIST’S RESIDENCY
Accepting applications.
Journey Lab was built by artists, and honestly – we get the struggle. Like fighting against the current, it is difficult to find peace when opportunities for growth either come at an extreme cost, or you end up playing with your friends in your dad’s garage. Well, let’s meet in the best of both worlds.
Journey Lab partners and provides masterclasses with expert artists, as well as six, eight, and twelve week workshops where we serious-play for growth. It’s meant to be enjoyed, but also exceptionally challenging.
All of our Artist Residency workshops come at no cost to you artists. It’s time to start making opportunities. No excuses.
We’re accepting applications into the Artist Residency Program – to cultivate a unique company of artists to master skills for interactive and immersive performance; including story structure and application, social psychology, physical performance, game mechanics and invention.
