SPECIAL THANKS I'm thrilled that we are opening the 40th anniversary of EVIDENCE at The Joyce Theater. A special thank you to Linda Shelton, The Joyce Theater staff and crew, Pam Green, Danni Gee, Reggie Van Lee, Kristin & John Montana, Amit Wadhwaney, Larry Satterfield, Zaid Abdul Aleem, Elizabeth Stoehr, Jeff Lewitzky, Michelle Cabuag Lim, the late Joyce Mullins Jackson, Ernesto Valenzuela, the hundreds of Evidence alumni, Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, The Billie Holiday Theatre, the current Evidence dancers, especially our Associate Artistic Director Arcell Cabuag and Interim Managing Director Jane Penn.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR STATEMENT Thank you for joining us for our 2025 season. I'm excited to present a wide range of our repertoire including the Company Premiere of a reimagined Serving Nia, with assistance by my associate artistic director Arcell Cabuag, which was commissioned and first performed by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater over 20 years ago, as well as Order My Steps with text by Chadwick Boseman. Mr. Boseman and I first met and worked together while he was a student at Howard University. Once he moved to New York, we connected to discuss the paths of our artistic endeavors and in that conversation we agreed to develop Order My Steps. We are thrilled to have his brother Kevin Boseman perform this work with us, who I met while setting Grace on the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

I am excited that we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of both High Life which includes poetry by Nikki Giovanni; and also Grace which was my first commission for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater while under the direction of the late great Judith Jamison. The EVIDENCE dance artists have worked very hard and are dancing beautifully and strong. I’m happy that we are sharing the gifts of three iconic ancestors; Ms. Jamison, Ms Giovanni, and Mr. Boseman.

I love that EVIDENCE is able to illuminate the contributions of incredible artists and I believe the audience will appreciate the generous offerings during their time in the Joyce Theater. It is because of the invaluable support of many individuals and institutions that EVIDENCE has received that we are able to share the work in this current time. I thank you for being with us today. I’m grateful for the partnership with the Joyce Theater, a relationship that began with our first presentation as a part of the Altogether Different Series in 1998. It is because of the administrative and unwavering support from The Joyce Theater Foundation that we are able to look forward to our 40th year, it’s truly a blessing.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for more than four decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 475 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (1st–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists.

The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 300 performances for audiences of over 100,000. Visit Joyce.org for more information.

ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION VISION STATEMENT

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Joyce Theater Foundation is committed to fostering and supporting a diverse and inclusive environment, both on and off stage. We embrace and celebrate diversity in all its forms, and value the rich experiences and perspectives that arise from differences in race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and cognitive and physical ability.

The Joyce Theater operates on the Lenape island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) and acknowledges that it was founded upon the stolen land and erasure of many Indigenous communities. This acknowledgement demonstrates our institution’s commitment to the process of dismantling the legacies of colonialism and cultural imperialism.

We strive to counteract the social injustices and racism that exist within our communities, our nation, and our world. Our aim as an organization is to embody the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.

To achieve this, we will: • Create and implement proactive diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice initiatives; • Establish and maintain a culture of safe sharing, intentional listening, learning, and growth;

We acknowledge the ongoing violence towards Indigenous people through systemic inequality. We pay our respect to the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon this land, and whose rich history, artistic practices, and spirituality are tied to this land. It is within our responsibility as a cultural institution and our commitment to diversity and inclusion to embody a commitment to Indigenous rights and cultural equity.

• Engage with and support disenfranchised communities by sharing information and resources and ensuring accessibility;

We sincerely invite you as an audience member to take a moment to reflect on the history and legacy of displacement, migration, and settlement.

• Develop metrics and conduct regular reviews of our programs and policies to hold ourselves accountable and shift as neededs.

It is our intention to work with local Native American arts councils to better inform our land acknowledgment practices and anticipate that it will evolve over time.

With these goals in place and our Vision Statement in mind, we are dedicated to the continued learning and growth needed to foster an inclusive environment for all. This is an ongoing process and by nature will be an evolving statement.
