Yamazaki Each resident artist will receive three weeks of dedicated studio space at the Gibney Dance Choreographic Center at 890 Broadway, a $7,500 stipend and extensive administrative, production and marketing support throughout the year at both 890 Broadway and the Gibney Dance: Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center at 280 Broadway in Lower Manhattan. Thanks to a generous $750,000 gift from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the DiP program—initially developed over a two-year pilot period—has expanded to fund 30 three-week residencies for 30 artists over the next three years.
“Gibney Dance is thrilled to unveil this phenomenal group of artists selected for the inaugural year of Dance in Process supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation,” says Gina Gibney, Artistic Director of Gibney Dance. “These Resident Artists represent a rich aesthetic range and cultural diversity, and are all developing exciting projects that will benefit from uninterrupted space and resources. Support for mid-career dance artists to advance their work is sorely needed in New York City, and we are proud to steward the generous Mellon Foundation funding to provide choreographers with a creative home and resources such as space, equipment, technical assistance, staff support and a stipend. These artists will enrich the community at our Choreographic Center at 890 Broadway, and it is our aspiration that DiP will help to bring engaging and fully-realized new dance to NYC audiences.”
Gibney Dance’s DiP program is a comprehensive New York City-based creative residency for mid-career artists who are in the “mid-stage” of developing new work. The program focuses on work that has progressed beyond initial research; developing work that requires technical support in a theater or production laboratory setting; and work that requires uninterrupted space and support in which to test new ideas and directions. It is based in the historic 890 Broadway building where Gibney Dance has, over the last three years, established a full-scale choreographic center—the only one of its kind in New York City—with subsidized rehearsal space and an array of artist services for the dance community.
Gibney Dance created DiP to strategically deploy the organization’s resources so that they may have the greatest possible impact on the dance field. DiP specifically addresses some of the field’s most pressing needs and connects them with Gibney Dance’s strengths: centrally located facilities, thoughtfully designed programs, a deep understanding of dance-maker’s needs and a built-in community of artists and dance professionals.
