Tickets.
CHOP SHOP returns in January and February 2021 in a new online format! We’ve engaged a cohort of six brilliant previous CHOP SHOP artists to co-design this year’s programming plan and share their work with us.
Tickets or registration for all CHOP SHOP 2021 festival events are offered on a free or pay-what-you-can sliding scale basis, and all proceeds will be shared by the festival’s artists. Please visit our program pages for exact schedules, registration, and more information.
Arts Journalism Intensive (January 10 - 31)
Free Registration
Offered in partnership with TeenTix, the FREE Arts Journalism Intensive is a four-week series for aspiring young journalists! Participants will be mentored by Gabrielle Kazuko Nomura Gainor, interview contemporary dance artists, and write an article about one of the artists featured in the 2021 CHOP SHOP Contemporary Dance Festival. All participants will have their writing published on both the TeenTix Blog and CHOP SHOP’s website and receive a modest stipend for their article! Please visit the TeenTix website here for full details and free registration.
Experience Dance Program (January 17 - 31)
Free Registration
The Experience Dance Program offers free, fun, all ages, and no experience necessary online dance classes in January 2021. Please visit our Experience Dance Program page here for class schedules and free registration.
Master Class Series (January 16 - February 20)
Pay-What-You-Can Ticketing
Join the artists of CHOP SHOP 2021 for a series of online master classes highlighting diverse approaches to modern and contemporary dance. The Master Class Series is open to dancers ages 12+ with a minimum of three years of dance training, with all classes taught at an intermediate/advanced level. All classes are offered on a pay-what-you-can sliding scale and all proceeds will go to the festival artists. We encourage you to register early, as each class will be limited to a maximum of 25 participants. Please visit our Master Class Series page here for class schedules and to reserve your pay-what-you-can ticket.
Dance Film Festival (February 4 - March 31)
Pay-What-You-Can Ticketing
In 2021 CHOP SHOP proudly presents dance films by seven outstanding local, national, and international artists. We’ll premiere dance films created by the participating artists each Thursday in February 2021, with a live Q&A with the week’s artists following each Sunday. The films will be hosted on a private YouTube playlist and will remain accessible through 11.59pm on Wednesday, March 31, 2021, so you may view and re-view them as often as you’d like until then! Please visit our Festival Artists page here for information on the participating artists, film release schedule, and to reserve your pay-what-you-can ticket.
What does pay-what-you-can ticketing mean? When you reserve a ticket on Eventbrite for one of our pay-what-you-can events you'll be invited to enter the price of your choice. We offer suggested donation amounts on the Eventbrite registration page, but please select the price that feels comfortable and appropriate to you. All proceeds will be shared by the festival’s artists.
Need more information or have a different question? Please feel free to contact us at info [at] chopshopdance [dot] org and we’ll be happy to assist.
Looking forward to seeing you at the online festival!
