Gibney Dance Company mobilizes our dancers as artists, activists & advocates.

Gibney Dance Company’s full-time Artistic Associates embrace a broad spectrum of activities—in the studio, on stage, within our organization, and throughout the community. Our passion is to create and perform engaging work in a cooperative community, and to share the power of dance as a means for personal change and social action.

Our Artistic Associates perform the work of Artistic Director Gina Gibney and guest choreographers; facilitate hundreds of movement workshops each year for survivors of intimate partner violence; and offer healthy relationship assemblies to high school students throughout the city through our Hands are for Holding program. Additionally, each Artistic Associate develops programming at our Centers addressing pressing issues in the dance field, such as cultivating long-term diversity, connecting artists around the globe, and empowering dancers with financial literacy training.

Gibney Dance prioritizes our resident company by offering year-round contracts, health insurance, and paid vacation to all of our Artistic Associates.
