History

GINA GIBNEY DANCE was founded in 1991. In 1997, in response to Gina Gibney's growing concern that women in professional dance were losing artistic and financial ground, the company was reconceived as an all-female troupe. Since that time, Ms. Gibney and her company have developed a repertory of over six evening length works that explore the humanity and physicality of women. Over the years the company has performed in Connecticut, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Washington State and Washington, DC and in Toronto and Montreal, Canada and since 1992 has mounted 11 New York City seasons. Gina Gibney Dance reaches more than 5,000 people annually through performing. The company's work has been presented at The Duke on 42nd Street, Danspace Project, Works & Process at The Guggenheim Museum, Yale Repertory Theater, Kaatsbaan International Dance Center, Joe's Pub and DanceNOW NYC, Cleveland Public Theater, The Joyce Theater's Altogether Different Series, Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, Summer in the Square at Union Square, Joyce SoHo, Central Park SummerStage, Symphony Space, The World Trade Center, The Cleveland Museum of Art, The Bagnolet Platform (Recontres Choregraphiques Internationales De Seine-Saint-Denis), L'Agora de la Danse (Montreal), Gibraltor Point Center for the Arts (Toronto) and elsewhere.
