In the courtyard at Stove Works, Pop-Up Project will perform excerpts from WNYC and Public Theater’s audio play production of “Romeo y Julieta,” in which the play’s reading moves seamlessly between English and Spanish translation.  The selected excerpts will be interpreted through dance this coming September. Alternating between the play’s text read aloud and a curated soundtrack, the dancers will lead the audience through the familiar narrative of the play.

The public is invited to both the matinee and evening performances at no cost. We hope you enjoy it, and we are looking forward to experiencing this performance of “Romeo y Julieta” with you.

About Pop-Up Project:

Founded in 2016 by Jules Downum and Mattie Waters, Pop-Up Project’s vision is to create a vibrant, diverse, sustainable performing arts community in Chattanooga. Their social justice film series uses dance to explore stories of Chattanooga’s communities from the perspective of those most impacted. Since their founding in 2016 they have produced 15 short films and in 2020, completed their first feature-length film, “The Light We Share.”

Pop-Up Project’s Enrichment Programming has functioned as an extension of their other programs. In 2019, they facilitated a semester of arts integration curriculum focused on visual storytelling in East Lake Elementary. Pop-Up Project has performed at the Hunter Art Museum, Creative Discovery Museum, Abandon Arts, Tribal Con (ATL), and Chattanooga Theater Center.
