DLN is grateful to its supporters
A huge thanks to the Luminato Festival who not only supplied tickets for all the Labbies to 5 shows during the Festival but also access to the creators and artists in those show for sessions with us. Another huge thanks to the British Council who sponsored 6 UK Artistic Directors to attend the Lab as well. Also grateful to LMDA who offered us a day of sessions with them as well.
