Beirut Physical Lab is a hub for physical theater and contemporary dance. Our mission is to support the next generation of performers in Lebanon through training, performances, and collaborations. We believe in the transformative power of art—its ability to ignite change, foster connection, and bring people together.

Our vision is to make contemporary dance accessible to all—whether you’re an audience member or a dancer—and to bridge the gap between global contemporary dance and the unique movement rooted in our region’s heritage. From dabke to oriental dance, we integrate traditional and modern forms to create something uniquely ours.

Dance isn’t about perfection—it’s about passion, expression, and connection. At BPL, we celebrate all forms of movement and all kinds of bodies.

We train, create, and collaborate with both local and international artists, striving to expand the scene and place Beirut at the heart of the contemporary dance world in the Arab region.
