Gibney Company

Tue Apr 7 - Sun Apr 12

Gibney Company, applauded for its expressive artists and bold choreographic collaborations that push the boundaries of contemporary dance, marks five years of performances at the Joyce showcasing its dancers’ brilliant physicality, technical precision, and youthful intensity. This year’s program includes the world premiere of On Contemplation of Wailing by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, the visionary founder of Urban Bush Women; and Gibney Company Resident Choreographer Lucinda Childs’ Canto Ostinato (2015), a much-heralded work set to a spellbinding score by Simeon ten Holt that builds hypnotic patterns as it unfolds in a luminous play of light. Audiences will also experience Ballet BC Artistic Director Medhi Walerski’s Silent Tides (2020), a sensuous and visually radiant work reflecting on love, mortality, and renewal through intimate partnering and shared momentum. The program concludes with Vukani (2024) by South African choreographer Mthuthuzeli November, an exhilarating fusion of Xhosa dance, ballet, and contemporary movement that forms a powerful call to awaken.
