MODULE™ is an award winning bi-annual research laboratory for intergenerational artists that provides a space to interface and incubate with the critically acclaimed Sidra Bell Dance New York and guests. The project invites artists into the intimate creative culture of the company and asks them to commit to creative stakeholding.
