GIBNEY’S POP: PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITY PROJECT SERVES THE DANCE COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING SPACE, SUPPORT, AND SUBSIDIZED RATES FOR PERFORMANCES TO NON-PROFIT COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUAL DANCE ARTISTS.

POP enables non-profit companies and individual dance artists to self-produce performances and showings at Gibney. Artists can participate in POP through Performances, Showings, or Open Rehearsals. POP Performances offer a three-night run in The Theater (Studio H) at 280 Broadway. POP Showings & Open Rehearsals are more informal showings in our studios.
