WHEN YOU BRING TOGETHER ARTISTS WHO CARE,
and who look beyond their own work to collaborate in community, acknowledging how others think and how movement can change lives; when these dancers, movers, and shapers are given room to grow, to discover, and to be: you get Gibney.
We have used movement to transform and inspire for over 25 years, and we have the creative capacity, physical space, and heart to make it happen.
HISTORY
Over the course of almost 27 years, Gibney has evolved from a socially active dance
company with a single dance studio to a two-location performing arts and social justice
powerhouse.
Founded in 1991 as a dance company dedicated to social action, Gibney has emerged as a
cultural leader operating 23 studios across two Manhattan facilities—a feat unheard of in
recent years. Yet, Gibney is so much more than space. The organization provides a holistic
ecosystem designed to support artists at every stage of their career, from creative process
through performance, to discourse and community engagement.
