About

We are Team StarKid and we believe in science. Which is why we are launching SK Labs, a place where we can probe the mysteries of our universe through new experimental projects that push the boundaries of creativity and innovation. SK Labs will be a workshop and creative incubator for new ideas, new collaborators, and new formats, the likes of which you’ve never seen before! Because we’re mad! MAD I tell you!!

As part of the #StarKidReturns campaign, we’re raising money for three brand new projects to develop in SK Labs and premiere next spring. What could those projects be? Stay tuned…

Premiering 2023

 

space baby

An Anthology series

Space Baby follows the intergalactic adventures of a timeless, telepathic tot on a quest to discover the origins of existence itself. Each anthology episode of Space Baby will feature the work of a diverse array of artists, from writers and directors, to animators and composers, all forming the programming that our titular Intergalactic Infant will consume in its endless quest to unlock the mysteries of the universe. It’s Sesame Street meets David Lynch. Yeah. It’s gonna get weird.

 

sissy

A New Play Reading

Every morning, Trent clocks in at queer.io, a tech startup where feeds training data into a machine learning algorithm, works through lunch, and is the last one in the office before he clocks out and goes home. Day in and day out, Trent never seems to be able to make a dent in the data or get ahead at work despite sacrificing his personal life to do so. But that all changes when the algorithm he’s been teaching seems to take on a life of its own. Sissy is an absurdist comedy about a modern gay Sisyphus, our increasingly fragmented views of pop culture, and our outlandish expectations that AI will be the solution to very human problems.
