Producers Lab: “What if we do it this way?” was a professional development programme by Producers SG for independent arts managers, producers, self-producing artists and artist-producers based in Singapore.

The programme took place over six months from October 2021 to March 2022, bringing together a diverse group of 15 participants to reflect, discuss, and explore contemporary issues in the arts, and formulate diverse pathways of creating and producing in a Covid-19 endemic world.

The Producers Lab looks at the role of the producer as an agitator, enabler and change-maker within our arts ecosystem and society. Lab Participants explored different themes through readings, workshops, guest lectures, field trips, and Open Space-format discussions, and developed proposals for a speculative project, asking “What if we do it this way?”. These proposals were presented at an industry sharing session in March 2022.
