A Note On Ticket Prices

The Chocolate Factory Theater now offers a 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.

We ask that you select the option that best reflects your individual circumstances. This is not a “pay what you wish” scenario; rather, it’s “pay as much as your circumstances allow”. For context: in the absence of outside funding, a true cost ticket to a Chocolate Factory performance would be $275.

Our tiered options are as follows:

1. $35 (base price – the equivalent of one hour of labor for a lead artist, performer, design collaborator or technician)
2. $25
3. $15
4. $50
5. $100
6. $275 (true cost ticket)

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.

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

Next Dance is a new 50-minute dance performance work that investigates “next-ness”: of proceeding from the materials at hand to work toward new potentialities; of performing possibility as a negotiation with constraints.

Next Dance also explores “dance-ness” and “performance-ness,” with roots in a movement discovery process by which I utilize source material culled ‘verbatim’ from recorded improvisations by each of the performers.

Next Dance is also my next dance.
