Our artistic labs, #ShareMusicLab, are primarily an exploratory working method with an emphasis on process. The labs are inclusion in practice, which means that people with different backgrounds, experiences and abilities come together in an exploratory collaboration within a given framework. These frameworks may include, for example, a research question, one or more topics or specific tasks. Our labs offer an inclusive environment and a permissive space to explore what inclusion can actually mean in terms of creative co-production, communication and accessibility.
Our labs can look very different, we work with:
In Gnosjö 2019, we worked in a cross-artistic process with dance and music. The starting point for the lab was the spirit of Gnosjö, the people and the factories.
Our TechLabs have focused on exploring new technologies and instruments in the field of music, such as when a master's student from Dartmouth College in the US collaborated with one of our musicians to explore the potential of a novel nerve sensor as a musical tool.

With learning and method development at the centre, our training labs brought together international music students, musicians from ShareMusic and a day activity centre. In the first part, the students and musicians learned about the methods, in the next part they practised them together with the day activity centre.
In the orchestra lab, the focus is on the artistic work process rather than a finished result, which leaves plenty of room for creativity and experimentation. As part of a multi-year project, we also worked with several actors to develop labs as a way for performing arts institutions to work more inclusively.
Our labs are not limited to these areas but are designed according to purpose and need. For example, we often use the lab method in connection with various research projects. If you are interested in collaborating with us in a lab or would like to know more - get in touch!

Said about the lab:
"In the classical world, we need a little more of this. You pull apart and push the boundaries but the quality is still there and you dare to experiment more."
Musician in Musica Vitae
"When you stand here and play, you realise after a while that you let go of both inhibitions and whatever thoughts you have, little things that get in the way."
Musician in the Västerås Sinfonietta
"It should be a given that music institutions and orchestras work with this. I think it's very rewarding for everyone. "
