The outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage hosts The MasterZ at Work Dance Family for a special one-night-only performance on July 13, in honor of Pillow Pride. This performance includes a “Choose What You Pay” ticketing option, with a suggested ticket price of $25.
A dance collective of fierce young performers from different dance backgrounds, MasterZ at Work ignites the stage with jazz, hip-hop, street jazz, house, African, vogue, and contemporary dance. Led by Black trans femme choreographer Courtney Washington Balenciaga—a legend in the ballroom community—the company creates dances that represent resilience, and which foster community in under-resourced areas of Brooklyn. Always “irrepressible” and “crowd-pleasing” (The Dance Enthusiast), the company wowed the Pillow audiences last year, and 2024 marks their triumphant return performing the Works & Process commissioned ALL INCLUSIVE and more.
ALL INCLUSIVE was commissioned by Works & Process and supported with LaunchPAD residencies at Bethany Arts Community, Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, and The Pocantico Center.
