📆 Tuesday, April 30 and Wednesday, May 1

⏰ 7:00 PM ET

📍 The Theater at Gibney 280 Broadway (enter at 53A Chambers Street)

👀Don’t miss Gibney Company’s performances of two important works by Twyla Tharp at The Joyce May 7-12: The Fugue (1970) and Bach Duet (1974) accompanied by live music.

Bach Duet, reconstructed for the first time since its premiere in 1974, grounds the ethereal music of Bach’s 78th Cantata in tangible action. The dance begins when one dancer spits on the floor, a common action for dancers looking to get more traction. Bach Duet premiered at the Delacorte Theater of Central Park in New York City on September 5, 1974. Gibney Company’s performance of Bach Duet at The Joyce Theater is a company premiere.

Modeled on The Musical Offering by Johann Sebastian Bach, The Fugue consists of a twenty-count theme which is developed into twenty variations. The theme is modified through a number of reversals, inversions, retrogrades and repetitions, re-sequencing, and rhythmic manipulations. Each of the three dancers represents a musical register: bass, alto, soprano. The only sound is the dancers’ footfalls on an amplified stage. *The Fugue premiered at the University of Massachusetts Amherst on August 1, 1970. Gibney Company premiered this work on February 6-7, 2024 at the Holland Dance Festival.

👀See you at The Joyce! Gibney Company returns with historic restagings, a world premiere and a tour favorite. May 7-12

In a special collaboration with Twyla Tharp, Gibney Company debuts two seminal works from the artist’s canon: The Fugue from 1970, and Bach Duet, reconstructed for the first time since its premiere in 1974 and performed with a live ensemble.

Making her Joyce choreographic debut, Yue Yin’s A Measurable Existence uncovers a journey of self-discovery through understanding those around us. This tour favorite features an original score by Rutger Zuydervelt.

Remains, a world premiere by Jermaine Spivey and Spenser Theberge, is a performance rooted in improvisation, composition and reduction, requiring urgent attention and rigorous action. This Company commission features a musical score by Spivey and text by Theberge.

🎉Excited to welcome Zack Sommer, Gibney Company Guest Artist!🎉

Get to know Zack ⬇️

Zack Sommer (he/him) was born in San Diego, California where his creativity and love for movement led him to dance at an early age. He passionately pursued his dance career, cultivating his skills at Danceology Performing Arts Campus and currently nearing the completion of his senior year at The Juilliard School, where he will graduate with a BFA in Dance in May 2024. His repertoire at Juilliard includes performances of works by distinguished choreographers like Medhi Walerski, Aszure Barton, Ohad Naharin, Jamar Roberts, Rena Butler, and Tiler Peck. Zack’s commitment to artistic growth extends to prestigious summer programs, such as Ballet BC’s 44 Summer Intensive, Springboard Danse Montreal, Orsolina 28, Jacob’s Pillow, b12 Summer Festival, and Arts Umbrella International Summer Dance Intensive, where he was able to study the works of Crystal Pite, Paul Lightfoot/Sol León, Jiří Kylián, Marco Goecke, and William Forsythe and has been in new works with Ethan Colangelo, Akira Yoshida, and Helen Pickett. Zack is fortunate to have been named a SPOTLIGHT Grand Prize Finalist, and a National YoungArts Foundation Award Winner.

📣 TODAY IS THE DAY! Gibney Company’s Joyce Season Tickets on Sale at 12 PM

Gibney Company returns to The Joyce in May with a dynamic program of world premieres and historic restagings that showcases what the New York Times described as “the troupe’s superpower . . . its strong and versatile dancers, artists who appear to be physically capable of anything.”

In a special collaboration with the choreographer Twyla Tharp, the Company debuts two seminal works from the artist’s canon, The Fugue from 1970, and Bach Duet reconstructed for the first time since its premiere in 1974. The Company performs a new work by Jermaine Spivey and Spenser Theberge that delves into time as an instigator, space as a character, memory as a form of physicality, and the value of individuality as a path to upholding community. Making their Joyce debut is Yue Yin with a tour favorite, A Measurable Existence (2022), that explores those moments when we discover frightening, challenging and ultimately sustaining aspects of ourselves.
