Join us for Showcases at the Factory, a mini festival of split-bill performances for Chelsea Factory artists to introduce and share their work with the general public and presenters from around the world.

In response to calls for increased support and visibility during the annual Association of Performing Arts Professionals conference, Showcases is a platform for artists to network and share repertory highlights.

Through one-hour performances, each featuring two dynamic dance companies, come cheer on your favorites or discover your next obsession!
