LPAC’s Artistic Director Handan Ozbilgin and Rough Draft Festival selection committee member Theresa Buchheister were recently featured in The Brooklyn Rail, speaking with writer Kyle Turner about the evolving landscape of new work development.
The conversation highlights what makes spaces like LPAC’s Rough Draft Festival essential to artists across New York City: the freedom to explore, revise, and build work without the immediate pressure of a finished product.
The feature places LPAC alongside leading institutions such as Ars Nova and Center for Performance Research, all of which are contributing to a broader shift in how new work is supported across the city. Together, these spaces are redefining development by centering flexibility, resources, and artist-led timelines.
This article underscores LPAC’s role as a key contributor to this citywide conversation. Through Rough Draft Festival and its ongoing support of artists, LPAC continues to champion work in progress as a vital and necessary stage of creation.
