(upbeat music) - Brave New Works Lab is a show that Oz is putting on in May featuring four artists from Nashville who are each sort of presenting like works in progress or new works that maybe aren't completed or have just been finished and no one has seen yet.

- It is designed to give artists an opportunity to imagine what they could create and then give them the resources they need to be able to realize that vision and then present it for a curious audience that wants to see it.

Sarah Saturday is the name of an artist who also works under the name Gardening, Not Architecture.

She is a musician, but also working in a very visual form with video projection.

Also in the lab this year, choreographer named Lenin Fernandez, Jennifer Whitcomb-Oliva, and then also Alexandra Winer is creating a new work that is a solo movement-based work.

- I know some of the performers who are gonna be involved.

I know there's a solo dance piece and there's a group dance piece but I'm sure they're gonna be absolutely beautiful.

And then there's the theatrical performance piece that Jennifer's doing.

And I've seen some of her pieces and work and she's incredible.

It is gonna be a smorgasbord of performances.

- [Mark] It's important to give local artists an opportunity to create something new and to show it.

Oz Arts and other organizations exist to provide support for that vision.

- The idea of being a part of a show where it's supposed to sort of be explorative and collaborative.

Oz, just everything they do is so interesting and so unique and so groundbreaking.

And this just feels like another one of those awesome groundbreaking shows.

- Oz Arts presents the Brave New Works Lab the weekend of May 19, 20, 21 in West Nashville.

- There's no way that someone is gonna come to this show and not be moved, inspired, impressed, proud.

I think, especially in Nashville, I just think it's an unmissable show.
