Welcome back! After more than a year of virtual events, live arts are making a big comeback this summer.
A slew of dance performances, live concerts and thought-provoking films will unfold across the open air as various spots are transformed into outdoor stages. We'll dive into the creative process of resident artists, sharing plays and dances in development and unique experiences created in collaboration with experts across various fields of study.
As a thank you to you, our arts-loving community, we are offering most of our summer events for free. Tickets to some events will have a pick-your-price structure with $5 or $10 minimums. We are also reaching beyond our campus and teaming up with fantastic cultural partners in the Upper Valley to make the arts more accessible around the region.
Learn more about our health and safety measures and what to expect when attending Hop events this summer on our Visitor Information page.
Join us in celebration of the company's 50th anniversary and the decades of dance at Dartmouth.
