LUCINDA CHILDS (Choreographer, Notes) attended Sarah Lawrence College (1958-62) and began her career as a choreographer in the early 1960s as a member of the seminal Judson Dance Theater. She formed her own company in 1973 and, three years later, was featured in the landmark avant-garde opera Einstein on the Beach by Phillip Glass and Robert Wilson. In 1979, Childs choreographed one of her most enduring works, Dance, with music by Philip Glass and film décor by Sol LeWitt, for which she was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship. Dance has toured internationally with the Lucinda Childs Dance Company and was added to the repertory of the Lyon Opera Ballet in 2016. In addition to work for her own group, Childs has choreographed over thirty works for major ballet companies. She has also directed and choreographed Philip Glass’ Akhnaten for l’Opéra de Nice Côte d’Azur and in September of this year she directed a new production of Philip Glass’ Satyagraha. In 2016, at an exhibit titled Nothing Personal, Childs' choreographic scores were shown at the Thaddeus Ropac Gallery in collaboration with the Centre Nationale de la Danse, to which she has donated her archive. Childs holds the rank of Commandeur in France's Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. In 2017, she received the Golden Lion award from the Venice Biennale and the Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival award for lifetime achievement and received an honorary doctorate from Université Côte d’Azur in 2021. CAITLIN SCRANTON (Stager, Notes) holds a B.A. in History from Smith College and is a New York-based dancer, teacher, and producer. Since 2009, she has been a soloist with the Lucinda Childs Dance Company, performing from 2012-2016 in the revival of the iconic opera Einstein on the Beach. She has also worked with Cornfield Dance, Metropolitan Opera Ballet, Phantom Limb, Mark Morris Dance Group, Christopher Williams, Annie B. Parson, Netta Yerushalmy, and Pam Tanowitz. In 2015, she co-founded the dance production company The Blanket, which produces the work of Lucinda Childs and others. She has been setting works for Ms. Childs since 2015. In addition to performing and producing, she teaches at Sarah Lawrence College. DREW JACOBY (Choreographer, Jack) was born in Boise, Idaho (USA) in 1984, where she spent summers on scholarship at intensive programs including School of American Ballet in New York.

Her choreography has been performed at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, Lucent Dans Theater in The Hague, the Royal Opera House in London, and the Joyce Theater in New York. Her work has been reviewed as daring, challenging, highly intelligent, tightly structured, and “one that really did shine a new light on contemporary culture and dance’s place in it.” TILER PECK (Choreographer, Real Truth) is celebrated as one of today’s greatest American ballerinas, distinguished not only as a principal dancer with New York City Ballet (NYCB) but also as an Olivier-nominated choreographer and multifaceted artist. Renowned for her extensive repertoire, Peck's career highlights include directing the inaugural Artists at the Center for New York City Center, which evolved into the acclaimed Turn it Out with Tiler Peck and Friends, captivating audiences at venues like London’s Sadler’s Wells and across California. She has choreographed for prestigious companies including Boston Ballet, Northern Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, and Ballet X, with her recent work for NYCB, Concerto For Two Pianos, marking another milestone in her choreographic journey. Beyond ballet, Peck is an author, designer, & actress, having made significant contributions to film and television, choreographing for John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum and appearing in productions such as The Barre Project, Netflix's Tiny Pretty Things, Hulu’s documentary Ballet NOW, and Prime Video’s Étoile.

Over the years, he shaped a large part of the repertoire at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, appearing equally in classical, contemporary, and experimental works. In 1999, he became ballet master, joining Staatsballett Berlin in 2004. DANIEL DOMENECH (Rehearsal Director/Understudy) began his formal dance training in 2010 at the Real Conservatorio Profesional de Danza Mariemma in Mardrid. In 2014, after becoming a finalist at the prestigious Prix de Lausanne, he was invited to join San Francisco Ballet's second company under the direction of Patrick Armand. In 2016, Domenech joined the Royal Ballet of Flanders under the artistic direction of Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. During his time there, he collaborated with internationally acclaimed choreographers including Pina Bausch, Ohad Naharin, Akram Khan, William Forsythe, Crystal Pite, Maurice Bejart, Jean Christoph Mallot, Édouard Lock, Andonis Foniadakis, Alexander Ekman, and Benjamin Millepied among others. Since 2022, he has danced as a soloist with Ballett Theater Basel, performing works by Richard Wherlock, Edward Clug, Pontus Lidberg, and others. In 2023, he appeared in the Lady Gaga x Woodkid dance film campaign, choreographed by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Domenech is currently working as an independent artist, guesting with Opera Ballet Maribor as a principal dancer in Edward Clug's productions. He is also engaged in a range of international projects, teaching and staging works by Drew Jacoby and Edward Clug. VLADIMIR RUMYANTSEV (Piano) is an internationally acclaimed pianist, celebrated for his virtuosity and profound interpretations of the piano's vast repertoire. His talent emerged early,
and at just seven years old, he made his debut at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory where he won Moscow's Glinka competition. Rumyantsev received his foundational training at the Gnessin Moscow Special School for Music under Mikhail Khokhlov and later studied at the Moscow Conservatory with Sergey Dorensky, Alexander Bakhchiev, Elena Sorokina, Pavel Nersessian, and Nikolai Lugansky. He earned advanced degrees at the Mannes School of Music in New York under Pavlina Dokovska and is currently pursuing his Doctor of Musical Arts degree at The Hartt School under the mentorship of Jose Ramos Santana. Rumyantsev has performed worldwide at such prestigious venues as the Moscow Philharmonic, Carnegie Hall, Covent Garden, the Mariinsky Theatre, New York City Center, The Kennedy Center, the Great Guild in Riga, the Dzintari Concert Hall, and the Bolshoi Theatre as well as major theaters across China. He has appeared in such renowned festivals as the Golden Mask Festival in Moscow, the Bermuda Piano Festival, The Art of Piano Duo in Boston, IKIF, and the Mannes Summer Piano Festival in New York. His performances of Shostakovich and Stravinsky Concertos led to collaborations with the Mariinsky Ballet, under the batons of Valery Gergiev and Boris Gruzin. Rumyantsev’s performances have been revered by the press, with The New York Times describing his playing of Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations as “excellent,” and The Wall Street Journal noting his “potent” interpretation. In 2024, he recorded Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Sean Hickey for solo piano which was released in early 2025 by Sono Luminus. Praised by Gramophone for his “virtuosity always informed by awareness of resourcefulness and ambiguity,” Most recently, Rumyantsev toured the world as a solo artist with Twyla Tharp Dance for her Diamond Jubilee and is producing his own concerts of piano and dance alongside Principal Dancer with American Ballet Theatre, Skylar Brandt. Vladimir Rumyantsev is a Steinway Artist. MONTY RICHTHOFEN (Poems), known as Maison Hefner, is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice pushes the boundaries of the written word. Working at the intersection of language and visual art, he transforms text into a dynamic medium, integrating poetry and literature across canvases, objects, and performance. His work invites viewers into an active dialogue, exploring how language shapes identity, perception, and the way we navigate the world. Rooted in conceptual art, Richthofen’s practice interrogates self-conception, societal norms, and the fluidity of selfhood in a digitized culture. By placing text on skin and other shifting surfaces, he highlights language as both a tool for expression and a barrier to understanding. Blending traditional and digital techniques, his mixed-media approach mirrors the layered nature of contemporary life and creates space for experimentation, emotion, and cultural critique. Performance plays a central role in his exhibitions, transforming them into immersive encounters that emphasize the fleeting yet impactful nature of language. Often working with materials that change over time, Richthofen reflects on impermanence, memory, and the tension between what is seen and what is felt. His engagement with contemporary art includes collaborations with institutions such as the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf, and Neuer Aachener Kunstverein in Aachen. Through his distinct voice, he encourages audiences to question the status quo and reconsider their own narratives.

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 500 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.
