FIELDWORKS :

a dance festival

📸 Keith Emerson

Back for a second year, the inaugural FIELDWORKS was launched November 2024. Designed to share the wider world of contemporary dance with our South Bend community, we bring in artists from the Midwest region and beyond to perform live dance, present dance films, and offer masterclasses. More importantly, hosting a dance festival in South Bend makes our city a destination for national artists and art lovers alike. We hope you join in the experience and attend one or more of the events!

Friday, April 10:

6:30 PM: Dance Film Screening @ Browning Cinema (DeBartolo Performing Arts Center)

It truly fills me with joy to find an established (and growing!) modern dance community in South Bend.

FIELDWORKS was a meaningful gathering of artists and dance makers. It was a pleasure to perform alongside other Midwest companies!
