Koro Lab supports projects that haven’t had a full run of performances. This could be a brand-new idea, an early-stage project, or one with partners lined up to develop it further - as long as it hasn’t had a successful full run and will undergo significant development through Koro Lab.

You may include as many links or documents as you wish. Please note that we can review up to five minutes of material per application. If you share multiple links or longer videos, please indicate which sections you would like us to prioritise.

If any links are password-protected, please provide the password. Please also ensure that we have permission to access your files (e.g. check sharing settings on Dropbox or Google Drive).

Please use this space to share any additional information you think we should be aware of.

As some sharing dates are still to be confirmed, you may also let us know about your availability in September. 

We also welcome feedback on our application process - we’re always keen to learn and improve.
