Snuff Labb

A creative laboratory for research, training and experimentation.

“We were encouraged to take risks and experiment and were provided with a safe environment to do so.”
– Snuff Labb participant

Snuff Labb is a place where puppets, humans, artists, art forms, ideas, fantasies and obsessions collide and new possibilities manifest; where fresh pathways are discovered and free expression flows.

Snuff Labb workshops are capacity-building development programs to train artists, bring in international expertise and provide  pathways for new artists into our art form.

Past Snuff Labbs have resulted in small private events to big outdoor spectacles, but all have in common the open sharing of ideas, the cross-pollination of artforms and the free exchange of skills.

Participants receive professional development, hands-on experience with our methods and materials, and deep connection with a network of peers; while as a company we benefit by interrogating our processes, inviting outside inspiration, producing original work with new collaborators and increasing our artist pool.

Previous Snuff Labb international artists-in-residence included Stefanie Oberhoff (Stuttgart), Rebecca Rutter (Melbourne/Bristol) and Riyo Harada (Osaka/Tokyo).

The next Snuff Labb is planned for late November or early December 2025
