While at Kaatsbaan, Gibney Company is working with the choreographer Peter Chu on a new commission for the full company premiering at The Joyce Theater in May 2025. Peter Chu’s creative process is holistic and mindful, incorporating qi gong and taiji principles to enhance movement quality and imagery. Chu guides dancers to connect with their environment, surrender to the intangible, and let their inner sensations direct their movements. A captivating soundscape immerses the audience in a space where pulse and rhythm intertwine.
