Annual Company Intensive

Gibney Company’s Annual Intensive offers a multi-day immersive experience designed to support dance artists in deepening their contemporary practice through rigorous, responsive, research-driven training. Participants are invited to engage closely with Gibney Company’s distinctive artistic approach while working directly with Company Director Gilbert T. Small II and Gibney Company Artistic Associates.

Participants will work with repertory drawn from Gibney Company’s acclaimed body of work, offering a unique opportunity to explore the Company’s physical rigor, choreographic range, and humanistic storytelling. Through this process, dancers are encouraged to cultivate a personal voice within the movement, developing technical clarity alongside intention, interpretation, and presence.

By engaging deeply with the Company’s repertory, participants will gain insight into the demands of a contemporary dance company setting, including what it means to embody material with integrity, make informed artistic choices, and navigate complex physical and interpersonal practices. The intensive will culminate in an informal showing of the repertory explored throughout the program, providing participants the opportunity to share their process and development.
