Salzburg Improvisation Research Lab is a dedicated platform for deepening the knowledge and development of multi/interdisciplinary Improvisation and Instant Composition. This lab brings together practising artists from abroad, as well as from Austria into the city of Salzburg as a means of exchange and study of different approaches to the work of improvisation in performance. 

Nayana's concept for the second edition of this lab was awarded the "Annual Fellowship Prize for Performing Arts - Dance & Performance" by the Federal State of Salzburg in 2022. In this further developed concept, the lab operates under a self-governing approach, where the participating artists determine the focus of the daily workings of the lab based on the questions of their individual practices. 

The second edition of Salzburg Improvisation Research Lab took place from the 3rd to the 7th of September 2023, at Camerata, Salzburg.

Studio Showing

On the 7th of September, the final day of the lab, a studio showing was shared with a private audience as well as filmed by FS1 Community TV. The documentation is available online for viewing.
