An acclaimed fixture of the New York dance world finally comes to Philadelphia. The Gibney Company, known for bold commissions, rigorous physicality and expressive storytelling, performs a program of works by resident choreographer Lucinda Childs. Exploring the interplay between music and movement, Three Dances (for prepared piano) John Cage showcases Childs’ signature minimalist precision and reverence for structured repetition. Then, premiering in 2027 in celebration of Philip Glass’ 90th birthday, Another Look sets choreography to Another Look at Harmony, Part 4, offering a rare artistic convergence of two defining figures in American minimalism. Don’t miss this company’s thrilling debut with “its strong and versatile dancers, artists who appear to be physically capable of anything” (The New York Times).
