Gibney Company seeks experienced dancers with strong technical, artistic, and creative abilities for full-time contracts for its 2022-2023 season! Gibney supports its dancers, called Artistic Associates, with 52-week contracts, health insurance, and paid vacations. Artistic Associates embrace a broad spectrum of activities — in the studio, on stage, within the organization, and throughout the community. APPLICATION OPEN NOV. 15 - DEC. 13, 2021 AUDITION FEB. 19-20, 2022 LOCATION Gibney Center | 280 Broadway, New York, NY APPLICANTS NOTIFIED JAN. 14, 2022 Find out more here JACK Founder/Co-Director Alec Duffy will transition out of leadership in July 2022, a fulfillment of his original intention upon founding JACK in 2012 to lead the space for only 10 years, to allow for the infusion of fresh energy and ideas. Under his guidance, JACK has become known for its commitment to connecting art and community, and for serving as a launchpad for many early-career artists, including director Lileana Blain-Cruz, playwright Celine Song, director Charlotte Brathwaite, among others. Programmatic series such as Forward Ferguson and Reparations365 established JACK as a space unafraid of taking a stand on critical issues of the day. Furthermore, JACK’s Co-Director model — introduced in 2016 — has served as an inspiration to other organizations seeking alternative leadership structures to increase equity.
Jordana De La Cruz, who joined Duffy as Co-Director in 2019, will remain in her role, working alongside a new Co-Director chosen by the Board and search committee through a selection process that will commence in January 2021. The search committee includes current Board members as well as community stakeholders, artists, and leaders from peer arts organizations. Duffy will overlap with the new Co-Director for several weeks in order to help transfer knowledge and relationships. The Board and staff at JACK feel confident that with this robust and inclusive process, an outstanding new Co-Director will be identified. Even as leadership evolves, JACK remains committed to its mission of fueling experiments in art and activism.
