COMPANYGibney Company is Gibneys acclaimed resident dance ensemble whose members serve not only as performing artists, but also as activists and cultural advocates. This commission-based repertory dance company works with renowned and rising international choreographers and is redefining what a contemporary dance company can be.COMMUNITYGibney is at the forefront of mobilizing the arts to address social justice issues by working with survivors in shelters, youth in schools, and artists both on and off the stage. Community programs bring a range of social issues into the spotlight, with a focus on gender-based violence and its prevention.ImpactEach year, Gibney reaches over 50,000 community members of all ages from across New York City and internationally, while creating critical professional opportunities for experienced dancers who are also activists and cultural entrepreneurs. Since its founding in 1991, Gibney has elevated the field of dance through three distinct yet symbiotic branches: Gibney Company, the country's largest female-founded and led dance company, which provides holistic support for its dancers including full-time salaries and benefits and works with some of today's most ambitious choreographers; Gibney Center, a year-round cultural and civic center that serves as a one-stop-shop for dance resources, including studio rentals, classes, educational programs, performances, residencies, and more; and Gibney Community, initiatives that mobilize creative movement as a vehicle for change, including the first program in the United States dedicated to using dance to address domestic violence. Together, this unique combination embodies and enacts Gibneys three-decade-long belief in dance, creativity, and performance as tools to catalyze personal and social transformation.
