    A new series from the Live Arts Festival where you, the audience, complete the work. LAB Test is one of life’s win-wins. You’re given the exciting and rare opportunity to play a role in finalizing an artist’s work, while the artists receive a bounty of support that pilots their work-in-progress to a full-scale Live Arts production. Sprung from a new Production Residency program, the 2011 LAB Test series will feature selected showings of the artists’ new works (unique on each date), followed by a moderated discussion where you can give it to them straight or just ask all the questions you don’t normally get to have answered. After all that, it’s free beer and snacks for all. WHaLE Optics is a new scientific/theatrical epic that explores worldwide communication systems, sub-oceanic fiber optics and humpback whale songs. Stage magician Thaddeus Phillips conjures up a three-part large-scale work that calls into question your perception of human/animal communication and our relationship with the biggest part of planet Earth--the ocean. WHaLE Optics will follow the quest of one Japanese/American composer from Los Angeles to the wilds of the Colombian Pacific coast to the white frozen landscapes of Antarctica via a modern Moby Dick adventure in which the search begins at a Venice beach record shop.
