INTEREST LIST OPEN / RESIDENCY IN DEVELOPMENT
Lyrical AIR
Go deeper. Lyrical AIR is our selective Artist-in-Residence Program, connecting a small cohort with the whole LO ecosystem: learn through Academy, create through Studios, gather through Assembly, and share through Ones.
The residency is being established and is free to residents. Join the interest list while future cohort details are developed. Applications are not open yet.

PEOPLE. PRACTICE. POSSIBILITY.
There’s more than one way in.
Some people first encounter Lyrical Opposition from the audience. Others arrive through a workshop, performance, collaboration, volunteer shift, residency, or gathering. Wherever you enter, meaningful relationships can grow.
Participate. Create. Contribute.
Build relationships.
A performer might become a teacher. A volunteer might lead a crew. A collaborator might develop a project. AIR alumni may mentor or curate. There is room to move between pathways as relationships and ideas develop.
You don’t need a previous connection to LO to start a conversation.
WHERE PARTICIPATION TAKES SHAPE
