OPPORTUNITY: EMERGE Choreographic Award @ Gibney

Gibney Dance Company is thrilled to announce a new initiative to support emerging choreographers, in partnership with Springboard Danse Montréal: the GDC/Springboard EMERGE Choreographic Award.

The EMERGE Choreographic Award will be presented to one of the Emerging Choreographers from Springboard Danse Montréal’s roster each summer. The selected artist will receive:

• Commissioning support to create a new work for Gibney Dance Company that will premiere on a split bill program the following spring;
• Mentorship through the creative process from a seasoned choreographer;
• And opportunities to teach classes and share their creative process through showings and dialogues at Gibney throughout the year.

The inaugural EMERGE performance, taking place May 2 – 4, 2019 in the Theater at Gibney 280 Broadway, will feature New York City-based choreographers Chanel DaSilva and Bobbi Jene Smith alongside the 2018-19 EMERGE Choreographic Award Winner, to be announced this July.
