“The purpose of THE Bed-Stuy Performance ColLABorative, a.k.a. THE LAB, is to present fiction, poetry, essays, drama, screenplays, rap lyrics and even serious musical compositions in an intimate context where personal presentation and experimentation achieve what Judith Butler describes as “a corporeal style, an act, as it were, which is both intentional and performative, where performative carries the double meaning of dramatic and non-referential.”
