Incubator Lab: The making, magnified.
May 26 / 27 / 28 | May 29 / 30 / 31
Liberty Station
2590 Truxtun Rd, #205, San DIego, CA 92106
A process-forward creation residency and audience experience. Incubator Lab is Parallax Season’s close-up lens, bringing you into the room where new work is investigated, tested, and shaped, without the pressure of immediate production.
Most of what makes a dance never makes it to the stage.
Incubator Lab pulls back the curtain on the part audiences rarely get to see: the search. The drafts. The detours. The moment a phrase doesn’t work, and the next moment when it suddenly does. This is TRBP’s process-focused creation residency, designed to give artists protected time and space to explore ideas, experiment, and develop work-in-progress with curiosity at the center.
For audiences, Incubator Lab is an invitation to shift from spectator to witness. You’re not just watching finished choreography, you’re seeing how movement is built, how choices get made, and why supporting creation is as vital as supporting performance. Expect an experience that is intimate, candid, and alive with discovery.

Incubator Lab
New Green
Choreographer
Bethany Green
Bethany Green’s choreographic voice has a bright pulse and a wink, grounded in classical clarity but unafraid of play. She’s drawn to storytelling that moves fast, lands clean, and doesn’t take itself too seriously, the kind of work that can pivot from heartfelt to mischievous in a single phrase. Her “bluegrass sneaker ballet” Devil Get Behind Me (with TRBP’s first live-musician collaboration) captures that signature mix: musical, character-forward, and joyfully off the expected path.
New Rader
Choreographer
Natasha Rader
Natasha Rader’s choreography reads like an interior landscape: movement that visualizes thought, feeling, and the tug-of-war inside the self. In her previous work Thoughtscape, she frames dance as a “look into the mind,” turning emotional states into physical images, including a duet that observes different parts of oneself and the tension between resisting and accepting what we carry. Her voice leans intimate and psychologically charged, the kind of work that invites the audience to recognize themselves in the shifting weather of the body.
New Schooling
Choreographer
Alex Schooling
Alexandra Schooling makes dance that feels reciprocal: movement as a way to disrupt perception, build connection, and imagine beyond the present. Her style often traces the curves and cyclical rhythms of the natural world, then threads in human idiosyncrasies, humor, awkwardness, whimsy, so the work stays grounded even as it opens into bigger questions. Music sits at the center of her process; she maps a score’s shifts and uses it like a blueprint, creating choreography that breathes with the arc of the sound. The result is emotionally layered and tonally rich, work that can hold tenderness and resilience in the same frame.
