SCAN TO SUPPORT THE ART & ARTISTS OF GALLIM
SPECIAL THANKS Dear friends, Standing in the wings of The Joyce for our eighth season, I feel the whole of it at once: the first season, so young and so certain, and this one, shifted by the tides, grateful for all that has carried us here, and eager for what lies ahead. Linda Shelton, thank you for making a home for us here, held with love and dedication. And thank you to Danni Gee and all of the Joyce family for sharing it with us. Jody Arnhold, your belief in dance is so steady, so generous, that it has become part of the art form itself; one can no longer tell where your devotion ends and the dancing begins. The history of modern dance in New York will always carry your name. I thank you with my whole heart, from head to toe. Kate Lear, a visionary leader whose belief in young artists has shaped many careers, saw something in a young and very determined choreographer, and, alongside Eduardo Vilaro, opened the door for me to make my work. That first big commission (Naci "I was born") set so much of what followed in motion. Now, for the first time, GALLIM is realizing a dream I held from its very beginning: to be a home for brave new voices in dance. We pass that faith forward by commissioning former GALLIM dancer Sean Howe, who has come back to GALLIM carrying a dance that belongs only to him, a beautiful and profound dance. I have had the privilege of coming of age as an artist in the same generation as the brilliant Camille A. Brown and Sidra Bell, two women whose work has lifted our field, and it is my great honor to present them with this year's Defining Voices in Dance award. To celebrate these two women is to celebrate the art each has made, its deep impact on me, on dance, on this city and beyond, and to be grateful that I was able to share these years with them. To our Board, Irena Tocino, Mary Cusano Amsterdam, Jim Herbert, Shannon Houston, David R. Parker, Meryl Rosofsky, Larry Murphy, Greg Piccininno, and Doug Schmidt: you have been sources of guidance and existential wisdom beyond GALLIM. Together, you are the ground under every leap GALLIM takes. Enormous gratitude to our Associate Board, to Hermès, and to every funder, sponsor, and member of our Host Committee recognized in these pages. You are at the heart of all we create. To the dancers, who make the invisible monumental. To Executive Director Erin Fogarty, who leads with full heart, mind, and soul, and to the administrative dream team at GALLIM, who pour their time and love into our work together. And to Ima, JuanFe, Raquel, Mateo, and Noa, to whom I return at the end of every day, as one returns to the shore. I love you. - Andrea
ABOUT THE JOYCE THEATER FOUNDATION The Joyce Theater Foundation (“The Joyce,” Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a non-profit organization, has served the dance community for more than four decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, the theater 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. As one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance, The Joyce Theater has provided a performance home for over 500 U.S.-based and international dance companies. Beyond the stage, The Joyce supports dance artists through longstanding commissioning and creative residency programs and Joyce Theater Productions, helping to bring artist-driven projects to life from early development to the premiere and touring. In addition, The Joyce owns and operates the New York Center for Creativity & Dance in Manhattan’s East Village, providing affordable rehearsal and workspace for dance artists. Local students and teachers (1st–12th grade) benefit from The Joyce’s Dance Education Program for Schools, audiences gain insight into the creative process through Curtain Chats, and Family Matinees introduce children to dance and offer opportunities to meet the artists. The Joyce Theater’s annual season of 46 to 48 weeks of dance includes more than 300 performances featuring a broad range of dance forms, styles, and traditions for audiences of over 120,000.

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.
