Location: Henry J. Leir Stage
The creators of “sharp and satisfying” contemporary dance (The New York Times), Gibney Company lives at “the intersection of art and social action.” Founded in New York City since 1991 as a dance and social justice organization, Gibney has transformed dramatically over the past decade, and now tours with a performance company that recently doubled in size, performing works by some of New York’s and the world’s most renowned choreographers. Following recent tour stops in Ontario, British Columbia, and The Hague, the company comes to Jacob’s Pillow as one of only two companies performing for a full week on the outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage. At the Pillow, Gibney Company will perform Johan Inger’s breathtaking Bliss, and Twyla Tharp’s The Fugue, among other works.
INCLEMENT WEATHER: Jacob’s Pillow occasionally must issue a day-of cancellation of an outdoor performance due to inclement weather, such as current or impending rain, high heat, or air quality concerns. In the event of inclement weather on the date of your outdoor performance by Gibney Company, all ticket holders will be notified and those who have purchased a “Rain or Shine” ticket will be accommodated indoors in an alternate venue with limited capacity at Jacob’s Pillow, at the scheduled showtime. All other ticket holders who purchased a “Shine Only” ticket will have their funds moved on-account at that time.
