Von King Park

670 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11216

Works & Process presents ballroom’s iconic Courtney Washington and the Masterz at Work Dance Family. This collective of fierce and resilient young performers from varied backgrounds fuses together street dance, jazz, ballroom, vogue, and hip-hop, fostering community in under-resourced areas of Brooklyn. It’s a hometown show for Washington, who spent her formative years performing in Von King Park, and went on to found the Kiki House of Juicy Couture, lead the vogue House of Balenciaga, and win the Avis Penda’vis Angel Award at the 2022 Latex Ball. This show is part of our season-long partnership with independent performing arts organization Works & Process.

Join Courtney Washington’s MasterZ at Work Dance Family for a free Workshop series.

Enjoy an open rehearsal before the show on July 10.

This SummerStage dance performance is supported by the Mertz Gilmore Foundation.

SPACE was commissioned by Works & Process and was developed in Works & Process LaunchPAD residencies at Pocantico Center (2023), Bethany Arts Community (2022), and Kaatsbaan Cultural Center (2021). Past performances have taken place at the Guggenheim Museum, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, OTA Weekly, and with NY PopsUp in The Oculus and Coney Island.
