Performances will take place at The Chocolate Factory Theater, 38-33 24th Street, Long Island City.

The work uses dance, text, and sound to create an experimental improvised movement portal. Blackly so. The choreography pulls from folk traditions of liturgical dancing, Soul line dancing, Umfundalai, and post-modern improvisation. Through these visceral Black womanist traditions, the work slips in and out of deep listening, seeing, improvisation, and truth telling.

Created and performed by Angie Pittman.

A Note On Ticket Prices

Starting in December 2023, The Chocolate Factory Theater will implement a new tiered ticketing price structure, with the goal of remaining accessible to every person who wishes to attend our events while acknowledging the very real value of the service - namely, artistic and administrative labor - that a ticket purchase represents; and adjusting for the realities of inflation and the ever-increasing cost of…everything.

We now offer a range of ticket prices; and ask that you select the option that best reflects your individual circumstances:

1. $35 (our new base price - the equivalent of one hour of labor for a lead artist, performer, design collaborator or technician)
2. $20 (the price we have historically charged, for more than ten years, without an increase)
3. $10 
4. $50
5. $100
6. $275 (the actual, unsubsidized value of a ticket, if box office was our sole source of income)

Our intention here is not to create walled gardens or tiers of access based on monetary status; we’re merely trying to make our practice - of paying artists, technicians and administrative staff a fair wage (more than 80% of our annual budget goes to labor, fyi) - more sustainable (or truthfully, less unsustainable), while remaining (we hope!) accessible and welcoming to all.

As a ticket buyer, you’ll receive the same experience regardless of the price you pay. It’s general admission for everyone. In other words: if you’re used to paying $20, and that feels right to you, nothing will change. If you can pay more, please pay more; if you need to pay less, pay less. We’ll operate on the honor system, no questions asked; and we’ll see how it goes.
