With a belief in the vast potential of movement\, creativity\, and performance to effect personal change and social transformation\, Gina Gibney established the Gibney organization in Manhattan in 1991. Today\, Gibney’s presenting and training fellowship and residency programs have served and supported thousands of New York City artists and audiences. Community outreach programs have impacted hundreds of lives\, especially those who have been impacted by domestic violence\, economic inequality\, and workforce development.
