Pageant, the Brooklyn-based, artist-run performance space, born out of its five co-founders’s desire for a collaborative space for audience and performers, sits in lineage with experimental dance spaces across New York City’s history.

In August, Pageant co-founders received MoMA’s 2026 Kravis Studio Residency, where they showed twenty-five artists for ten minutes each. The Brooklyn space is hosting regular programming through November.

Follow our link in bio to read Pageant co-founders’s full conversation with choreographer, dancer, and writer Amit Noy.

We are thrilled to announce our 2026-28 NEXT! Mentorship Cohort! (Part 1/2)
 Through our program, 6 emerging interdisciplinary artists with 3+ years of professional experience specializing in dance and movement-based practices, performance art, storytelling, and video art.

The NEXT! Mentorship Program offers artists support in knowledge sharing and public presentation opportunities based on each artist's needs; this includes guidance in production, creative design, grant writing, and project budgeting. The program nurtures the development of 8 NYC-based artists through exchange, monthly meetings, discussions, workshops, and presentations for a period of 20 months.

Pioneers Go East Collective’s NEXT! Mentorship is made possible in part thanks to funding from the Jerome Foundation.

Pageant Presents Pageant, a day-long marathon of 25 short works, part of Pageant’s Studio residency at MoMA.

Starting with the visual frame of the red stage, the marathon itself became a total artwork: a score for community, made visible through the radical adjacency of 25 artists. Each retains their own distinct influences, methods, and approaches to performance-making, yet through the act of sharing a stage—first in their life together at Pageant in Brooklyn, and then in the Kravis Studio—their practices reflect onto one another, creating something greater than the sum of its parts. Community becomes visible not as consensus or unified style, but as proximity and values: as artistic points of view held beside one another.

Thank you to @maymakki1 without whom this wouldn’t have happened, and thank you to everyone whose labor, visible and invisible, went into this day of spectacle, movement, and joy. @pageantpageantpageant @alaxawast @owen.prum @lilidrkker @sharleenchidiac @jademanns @luizarepsold @lizziegorfaine @pauldp123 @new.monicaaa_ @nnneeeevvvvvaaaaaa

I interviewed the Pageant five for this month’s issue of the Brooklyn Rail, which is out now, in print and online (link in bio). Pageant is a whole world, and it exists because these five people decided to do something: to sign a lease, to make dance. We talked about the MoMA residency, financial precarity and social stability, performance, and how Pageant has changed us over the last four and a half years. Thank you Alexa, Jade, Lili, Owen, Sharleen.

𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐓…This Sunday Aug 30th at 2PM, Pageant Co-Directors and curator McClain Groff will be discussing the ɪɴꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴏᴜᴛꜱ of Pageant: how it got started, what it takes to keep the whole thing running, how we collaborate, and what exactly this whole Pageant thing is, because honestly, it’s still a little mysterious to us too.

This event closes out our residency with MoMA, so please come celebrate the end with us this Sunday!
