Ko Labs: A Theater Collective Dedicated to New Work

Ko Labs, founded by Niki Selken, is a Ko-laboratory catalyst for new theater works. Ko Labs an inclusive theater troupe whose core members work with a variety of exceptional local artists to foster the development of original performances. We work as theatrical archeologists, investigating, researching, and hopefully, reconstructing America’s broken body: political body, physical landscape, and social form. We work as an ensemble to excavate incidents from history and recreate landscapes for an audience out of small remnants: a grain of sand, a beaker of water, a newspaper article. Ko Labs believes It is the job of interdisciplinary theater, theater of the artifact, theater of the dreams to recreate, through any means possible a new history, a shared history for the local community and hopefully for America, as divided and disconnected as it has become.
