Inkub8

Artistic Director Heather Maloney in partnership with Corey Silverman of Kor Media & Lighting

What is an incubator? It’s a way to increase the survival rate of struggling art forms. It’s a way to observe, question and relish the processes we engage in as artists that focus on the journey as much as the final product. It’s a space that reorders the hierarchy of ‘audience ready’ and makes process as important as product. Inkub8 is a contemporary experimental hybrid performance space that serves as a laboratory for creating and showing new work. As a lab environment, Inkub8 provides a physical and intellectual workspace where artists can show work in stages as it evolves, define and develop new performance language, train and hone skills and explore performance as a social medium. Why incubate? Inkub8 believes that an artist’s work is not developed in a vacuum, and that open exploration and peer exchange are essential components to the creative process. By maintaining a work space, involving audiences in different stages of the creative cycle and inviting dialogue from many disciplines within and outside the arts. Inkub8 strives to inject and fortify contemporary performance in Miami and beyond, and define a role for live performance with in the Miami Arts corridor of Wynwood and Downtown.
