WHO’S WHO IN THE COMPANY GARTH FAGAN (Founder & Distinguished Artistic Director Emeritus) has been called “a true original,” “a genuine leader,” and “one of the great reformers of modern dance.” With over five decades of groundbreaking contributions to the art form, Mr. Fagan uses the dance vocabulary born of Garth Fagan Dance, Fagan Technique, as the impetus for his choreography. As an “Irreplaceable Dance Treasure,” Tony, Olivier, and Helpmann Award winner, Fagan used his technique to create the movement that helped build Disney’s The Lion King on Broadway to its towering heights, which has earned him the distinction as the longest-running Black choreographer in Broadway history.

Throughout his illustrious career, Fagan has continued to push boundaries, with notable works such as Mudan 175/39, Griot New York, Prelude, From Before, and Oatka Trail, earning critical acclaim. His influence spans globally, with commissions for leading companies and recognition from two presidents for his significant contributions to American culture.

Beyond his artistic achievements, Fagan's commitment to education and cultural enrichment is evident in his role as a Chancellor's Award-winning Distinguished University Professor Emeritus and his decades-long tenure at the State University of New York at Brockport. His accolades include honorary doctorates from prestigious institutions and awards and honors such as the Guggenheim Fellowship, Eastman Luminary Award, Fulbright 50th Anniversary Distinguished Fellow, NY Bessie Award, the Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award, and the Order of Distinction in the rank of Commander, and the Special Gold Musgrave Medal from his native country Jamaica, among many others.

NORWOOD ‘PJ’ PENNEWELL (Artistic Director & Rehearsal Director) joined Garth Fagan Dance in 1978. He is the quintessential Garth Fagan dancer and serves as Fagan’s assistant and muse. Pennewell is a recipient of the 1988 New York Performance Award “Bessie” and has been showcased all over the world on tour with Garth Fagan Dance, on Great Performances, The Tonight Show, and in Duke Ellington’s Queenie Pie. In 1994, he was invited to perform in the “66th Annual Academy Awards” broadcast. He assisted Mr. Fagan during his work on Broadway’s The Lion King and the NYC Ballet 50th-anniversary Ellington Project.

Pennewell has choreographed 13 works on Garth Fagan Dance and has been commissioned to create works with Geva Theater, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Finger Lakes Opera. Of his work, The Village Voice said, “As you'd expect, Pennewell's movement and formal acuity are rooted in his mentor's style. But right away, there's a smart quirk…”

The New York Times said, “Mr. Pennewell knows how to organize bodies. And he knows these bodies: their strengths, their weaknesses, their inclinations, in relation to a very particular way of moving.” Each work uses the Fagan Technique as a foundation and deftly shows Mr. Pennewell developing his craft by taking risks with musical choices and movement phrases in relationship to the music, lighting, and costuming. As a celebrated and world-class choreographer, he combines the unique elements of the Fagan Technique with sophisticated concepts and movement invention.

NATALIE ROGERS-CROPPER (Executive Director & School Director) joined Garth Fagan in 1989. As a principal dancer, in 1992, she received the prestigious “Bessie” award for her performances. She is also a 1993 recipient of The President’s Award from her country of birth, Trinidad and Tobago. Natalie was voted one of the top three female modern dancers in the world, by readers of Dance Magazine in the 2004 Readers' Choice Awards. Natalie has served as one of Mr. Fagan’s assistants for the Tony Award-winning megahit The Lion King on Broadway, Ellington Elation on the New York City Ballet, and Jukebox for Alvin and From Before on the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Ms. Rogers-Cropper has taught the Fagan Technique worldwide and has had at least 12 major roles created for her over the course of her dance career.

Ms. Rogers-Cropper has created her own choreography for several companies and schools world-wide, and her first work for Garth Fagan Dance Life Receding premiered in August 2023. For her leadership in business and all her other achievements over her 34-year career with Garth Fagan Dance, Natalie became one of the recipients of the Women of Excellence Award from the Rochester Business Journal in April 2021.

She was appointed Executive Director for Garth Fagan Dance in November 2023.

She is a graduate of the Juilliard School. (B.F.A. class of 1984).

STEVE HUMPHREY (Principal Dancer) is the only original member of Garth Fagan Dance still dancing and is the company’s first Bessie Award winner. He helped formulate the Fagan Technique in its early stages and has mentored new Fagan dancers over his 54-year tenure at GFD. Garth Fagan, Humphrey’s teacher, mentor, and only choreographer, has created several major roles for him including Oatka Trail which garnered him a Bessie Award in 1984. Steve was also featured on PBS Great Performances with Griot New York and in Duke Ellington’s musical, Queenie Pie, at the Kennedy Center.

He approaches every day with a positive attitude and a disciplined work ethic which has allowed his distinguished longevity with the company. Steve is grateful for the ongoing love and support of Garth Fagan, the company, the Rochester community, and audiences around the world and is deeply grateful for the love and support of his wife of 29 years.

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.

FUNDERS Many Thanks to The Joyce's Institutional Funders for Keeping Us Moving Forward An abundance of gratitude to Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Representative Jerrold Nadler, and Representative Nydia M. Velázquez for their visionary leadership that established the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, which made the reopening of The Joyce Theater in 2021 and the reemergence of many dance companies possible.

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.
