Working in partnership and collaboration with local and regional organizations is key to the operation and success of the Vermont Performance Lab. Partners on past residencies have include Marlboro College, the Rockingham Arts and Museum Project, Amtrak, The Green Mountain Railroad, the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, the Brattleboro Music Center, the Brattleboro School of Dance and The Performing Arts/Dance Program of The Windham County Regional Career Center, The River Gallery School of Art and The Putney School. As the program grows, VPL plans to expand its network to include collaborations with organizations throughout New England and New York.
