Winter 2026 Creation Lab

January 3 - 7th 2026

Creation Lab with little house

Join us for our 6th Creation Lab in downtown Portland! Each Lab brings a different energy and a unique cohort of movers and artists together. Through daily class, improvisation labs, repertoire, and movement prompts we spend the week engaging in different components of the little house creative process and arrive somewhere new. Over the course of the week we build a movement score together and offer an open studio sharing on the final day that is open to the public.

Creation lab takes place in the arts district of downtown Portland, Maine in the historic Maine Mechanics’ Hall Ballroom. See an example daily schedule below.

This Creation Lab is designed for pre professional and professional dancers and movement artists. Participants must be 17+ to attend. Early bird rate of $450 for the whole week is available from now until Nov 1st 2026. Half of the tuition is due upon signing up and the remaining balance is due one week before the lab begins. Payment plans and reduced rates are available - please reach out if you need assistance.
