About Shoestring 2026:

Seven dance artists have only two weeks to create six new dance works! Each piece will explore the choreographers’ deepest curiosities. At this multi-media showcase, you will experience performances about migration, immigration, and exile, about conditional love, about reconnecting dance to the inherent mathematics of music, and so much more. Come experience dance in a whole new way.

Featuring work by Imani Johnson-Bey, Amos Distefano, Celeste Mercadel, Lourdes del Mar Santiago Lebrón and Tess Angelica Losada-Tindall, Bayleigh Breanne, and Jakki Kalogridis.

Shoestring believes in making Art accessible to everyone. New Marigny Theatre features accessible entry to the right of the building. There will be a quiet space for anyone to use at any point during the evening. If you have any specific accessibility needs, please reach out to us at [email protected].
