WHO ARE WE?
Over the years, ARTLAB has seen a lively and pleasant succession of exchanges and meetings between Authors, Directors, Artists, Artisans, Technicians, Organizers, Designers, Performers, and simple enthusiasts of Theatre, Music, Dance, and Performing Arts in general. All of them have left a mark on ARTLAB and, at the same time, have been influenced by it. However, there is a group that, since the very beginning, continues to create, act, and promote ideas, supporting ARTLAB's activities and initiatives with consistent commitment and relentless passion. These trainers of ours, therefore, deserve a small mention. So, let's introduce them!
