Location: Henry J. Leir Stage
The outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage hosts The MasterZ at Work Dance Family for a special one-day-only performance on July 13. 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.
INCLEMENT WEATHER: Jacob’s Pillow occasionally must issue a day-of cancellation of an outdoor performance due to inclement weather, such as current or impending rain, high heat, or air quality concerns. In the event of inclement weather on the date of your outdoor performance by The MasterZ at Work Dance Family, all ticket holders will be notified and those who have purchased a “Rain or Shine” ticket will be accommodated indoors in an alternate venue with limited capacity at Jacob’s Pillow, at the scheduled showtime. All other ticket holders who purchased a “Shine Only” ticket will have their funds moved on-account at that time.
