NY PopsUp

If you’re not following NY PopsUp, you’re missing out. This citywide cultural program features dance and musical performances in various institutions and spaces that are free, (usually) open to the public and broadcast live on Instagram. The 300-event-strong series kicked off with a show led by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s Jon Batiste at the Javits Center. Look for performances by Amy Schumer, Phoebe Robinson, Dev Hynes, Kenan Thompson, Sutton Foster and Sarah Jessica Parker. Other highlights will include the new Perform in the Park festival at Little Island at Pier 55.

It’s not easy to track down a schedule or a specific performance as is the nature of pop-up events; they’re more intended to be happened-upon then planned for. The best way to keep up is to follow NYPopsUp on Instagram and Twitter.
