Gibney Dance Company “makes space for the future of dance” by commissioning new works and reimagining signature works by contemporary dance artists, positing the possibility that the present generation’s work will be recognized and celebrated in live performance by future audiences.
WOW by Keely Garfield
In a dramatic act of sincerity, WOW deploys a panoply of performance devices—pantomime, musical theatrics, back-up dancing, and faux pas de deux set to songs by Kate Bush performed live by Matthew Brookshire and the company. As people go missing, guns go off, resources are hoarded, and the world heats up, choreographer Keely Garfield takes a stand for the sake of our humanity. Protesting against skepticism and scorn, and appealing directly to the heart, Garfield says: Bring in the clowns! Love is all there is!
