NACL: North America Cultural Laboratory
The NACL Mission is threefold:
1.To create and perform original theatre that is process oriented, actor-generated, corporeal, and director-devised in Sullivan County, NYC, and in national and international venues
2.To practice and teach NACL's ongoing performer training in rehearsals and in laboratory and educational environments, developing and documenting research in the field
3.To maintain a theatre work center and artists' residence at NACL for exchange between local and international theatre creators, scholars, and local audience communities. The NACL Catskill Festival of New Theatre advances the development and life force of the independent theatre community from within and without through audience education and artistic exchange.
OUR SPECIAL THANKS! The Brecht Forum owes its existence to a broad network of support. Our modest fees cover only a fraction of our costs and we rely on the progressive community for our financial survival. Hundreds of valued subscribers and donors provide steady contributions to all of our activities. Our programs are funded in part by Manhattan Neighborhood Network, The Bardon Cole Foundation, The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, The Surdna Foundation, and by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
