Cannonball 2025 Extension Programming

Cannonball

Connect

More than just performances, Cannonball’s Extension Programming is where the unexpected magic happens. These are the connective threads that deepen the festival’s texture—intimate, electric, and always alive. From movement workshops to artist talks, impromptu music sets to sneak peeks of new works, Extension Programming events offer playful, powerful spaces for discovery, exchange, and shared experience.


Designed to bring artists and audiences closer together, Extension Programming invites you to linger, engage, and explore beyond the stage and connect with the community. You might stumble upon a script reading or join a polyphonic singing class or come witness our On Deck! Preview Cabaret nights to have a sneak peek into what’s to come. This is where the festival breathes between the beats— surprising and full of possibility.


Curious? Come see what’s blooming just outside the spotlight.
