Bard's partnership with GIBNEY, a New York City–based dance and social justice organization, began in fall 2020.

The Bard College Dance Program and GIBNEY, a New York City–based dance and social justice organization led by Founder, Artistic Director, and CEO Gina Gibney, began a new partnership in the fall of 2020. This is the fourth professional partnership launched by the Dance Program, which began in 2009 with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company.

Past Partnerships

  • ADF's Quilan
    American Dance Festival
    2018–19
    Beginning in fall 2018, the Bard Dance Program embarked on a partnership with the American Dance Festival (ADF). Through coursework, artist residencies, performance opportunities, and public dialogs, students encountered a range of well-respected artists who put research and inquiry at the center of their professional practices. ADF’s critical lens for 2018 was to examine how two influential roots of modern dance—the African diaspora and Western European dance traditions—operate within contemporary practice.
  • Trisha Brown Dance Company performs
    Trisha Brown Dance Company
    2015–18
    Trisha Brown Dance Company engaged in an extensive, two-year residency that included teaching, educational licensing projects, master classes, full-company production residencies, and public performances to cultivate a curriculum that embodied the artistic practice of its founding artistic director, Trisha Brown. Courses included dance technique and composition, ultimately incorporating interdisciplinary studies with other forms including music and the visual arts. Each year, students learned repertory for public performance.

    Bill T. Jones Dance Company
    2009–15
    Beginning in fall 2009, the Bard Dance Program embarked on a partnership with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company to offer new classes in technique, creative structure, and critical analysis. After BTJ/AZ’s merger with Dance Theater Workshop, renamed New York Live Arts, the partnership expanded considerably. Regular offerings included technique (two levels, offered four days a week), repertory, composition, junior seminar in professional practice, and Senior Project oversight and advising.
