Lab10 Theatre Collective is looking for writers, actors, performance artists, puppeteers, musicians, dancers and choreographers for the first show of a new series of Lab10, an 
ultra-variety show and experimental theatre laboratory featuring ten performances for ten minutes each on the first Thursday of the month, ten months a year, starting 

Thursday 7 October. The performances take place in the Basement at the Leicester Square.

Open to all submissions and performance suggestions, there will be no limitation to the imagination of Lab10 Theatre Collective in curating the evening and therefore they insist there should be no limitation in yours when submitting your work - anything goes! Explore, Experiment and Express, the three E’s of Lab10.

10 things Lab10 wants you to know:

1. Lab10 Performance Laboratory is a place to do brave work, experiment and risk failure.

2. Lab10 is a curated performance event on designated Thursdays every month.

3. Lab10 is a place where new artists can show early work, and more established artists can work outside their genre.

4. The event is called Lab10 because each piece can be no longer than 10 minutes and there will be no more than ten performances a night.

5. After ten minutes of performance a bell will sound and the lights will go off - we mean it, really - 600 seconds and out (yes, even if you're still performing)!

6. While we would love you (or someone else) to write about Lab10 - we respectfully ask you not to review individual pieces. We don't want the artists to censor their ideas because they are worried about a "bad" review. We want this to be a true performance laboratory.

7. After the performance you are invited to the bar where you can talk to the artists about the work you've just seen. Pick three artists to talk to, tell them what let you into their work and what kept you out.

8. All genres of work are welcome - dance, performance art, music, visual arts, installations, film, slideshows, spoken word, staged readings, whatever…

9. There is a participation fee of £15.
