✨ 2026 SEASON: bringing our international experiences home ✨

2026 Season emerges from a year of travel, collaboration, and discovery. From our inaugural Artists-in-Residence Louisa Pancoast & Dr. Nialah Wilson Small’s development of Austringer (dancers and drones) and a performance at IEEE ICRA (international robotics conference), to a five-week tour through southern France and a Creative Residency at Le Pari, we carry these experiences forward to inspire new work and reimagine 404 Inside for a New York City audience.

Upcoming Season Events:
🪩 Smashworks Social - 1/22/26
🏃‍♀️ Spring Virtual 5K
✨404 Inside Open Rehearsal
🇫🇷 404 Inside NYC Premiere

We look forward to sharing our process with you!
