ABOUT US

​

Pigeonwing Dance, described by The New Yorker as "eccentric...playful...curious," was founded in 2016 by award-winning choreographer Gabrielle Lamb. The Pigeons have been presented by New York City Center, the MIT Museum, Jacob's Pillow, Symphony Space, and 92Y.

 

During the pandemic, their artistic model was transformed by The Carpet Series, a compact outdoor performance taking place on an 8x10 Persian carpet in public spaces throughout NYC, performed over 100 times in all five boroughs. Their dance film "The Choreography of CRISPR," illuminating CRISPR gene-editing technology, was on display in the MIT Museum galleries for three years and has been featured in SCIENCE Magazine.

 

Recent performances and residencies include the New York Botanical Garden, Rice University’s Moody Center for the Arts, Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts, Harvard University’s Global Observatory Summit, and Oregon State University's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.
