Panoply Performance Lab
Editors: Esther Neff (PPL founder), Ayana Evans, Tsedaye Makonnen, Elizabeth Lamb ---- Panoply Performance Laboratory (PPL) is a flexible performance collective, experimental philosophy thinktank, and organizational entity working through hybrid “life art” forms of social assembly, mobilization, theatricality, musicality, and materialization that often combine multiple disciplines and modes. PPL’s “operas of operations,” performance art works, installations, and social projects have been realized in theaters, galleries, museums, parking lots, at Walgreens and gas stations, through “relational march” tours across the USA, and in convergence with conferences, books, tours, exhibitions, and collaborations with other organizations. PPL founder Esther Neff is also the instigator of the Brooklyn International Performance Art Foundation and organizes the platform PERFORMANCY FORUM. PPL is currently working as a part of MARSH (Materializing & Activating Radical Social Habitus) in St. Louis, MO, and working on two new operas (entitled DROSOPHILIA and PROTAGONY). www.panoplylab.org IG: @panoplylab
