Join us for a transformative evening as Gibney Company, one of New York’s leading contemporary dance ensembles, makes its debut at Guild Hall. With a powerful mix of athleticism, artistry, and thought-provoking storytelling, this debut performance showcases a carefully curated program of new and reimagined works by three visionary choreographers: Roy Assaf, Lucinda Childs and William Forsythe.
PROGRAM
Roy Assaf – A Couple
Perhaps you are a couple. Perhaps you are lifelong friends, perhaps soulmates, perhaps you have history, perhaps you had an affair, perhaps you once fought together for a greater purpose, perhaps you fight every day over little things but share a love that survives them all.
William Forsythe – Trio (of six) (1996, reconfigured for Gibney Company)
Trio (of six) is a reconfiguration of William Forsythe’s celebrated 1996 work, which had been a staple of his repertoire in Frankfurt, Germany. Restaged several times in its original trio form, including at the Paris Opera Ballet, Forsythe requested the opportunity to adapt the work for Gibney Company, whose small ensemble offered a unique level of organizational flexibility. This six-person staging reflects Forsythe’s practice of evolving works over time, adapting them to different environments and creative contexts.
INTERMISSION
Lucinda Childs – Three Dances (for prepared piano) John Cage
Lucinda Childs’ Three Dances (for prepared piano) John Cage explores the rhythmic intensity of John Cage’s 1944-45 composition Three Dances through a lens of movement. Childs’ signature postmodern minimalist precision and deep reverence for structured repetition shine in this world premiere for eight dancers. The work exemplifies Childs’ lifelong engagement with transdisciplinarity and formalism, while also nodding to her roots in the Judson Dance Theater. It is a stunning exploration of how sound and movement can intimately coexist.
This program is sold out. A waiting list will be taken in-person only 30 minutes before the show begins.

Guild Hall, in collaboration with the John Chamberlain Estate, invites you to explore Living with Chamberlain, a visually stunning and deeply personal exploration of John Chamberlain’s legacy published by ASSOULINE.
This compelling new volume goes beyond the museum walls to explore how Chamberlain’s work transforms the lives of those who live with it. Featuring a foreword by Rick Owens, and interviews and conversations with family, friends, gallerists, and collectors, this intimate and personal volume uncovers how Chamberlain’s art has impacted the lives of so many, including personalities as diverse as Chamberlain’s wide-ranging artistic expressions.
The afternoon will feature a conversation with Alexandra Fairweather, Director of the Chamberlain Estate, and special guests, Gabriela Palmieri, and Yvonne Force Villareal, for a discussion on the intersection of art, design, and the impact of Chamberlain’s work moderated by Guild Hall Museum Director and Curator of Visual Arts, Melanie Crader.
The conversation is programmed in tandem with the exhibition, Functional Relationships on view from May 4 – July 13 at Guild Hall.
