Mission

Founded in 2009, Leviathan Lab is an award-winning not-for-profit creative studio whose mission is the advancement of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander performing artists and their work. Through the speaking of AANHPI artists' words, and the presentation of AANHPI bodies, presence, and gestures on stage and film, Leviathan works to open spaces that promote social justice, bridge communities, and assert the power of art to change the world. We function as a lab where early-career and established AANHPI artists can be courageous, experiment, and thrive as they create works that captivate the audiences we serve. Under the direction of Founder and Producing Artistic Director Ariel Estrada, Leviathan's programs for AANHPI theatre artists include DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PLAYS through commissions, workshops and readings.
