Tomorrow
Commissioned by Wayne State University through Gibney Dance (2025)
Created in Residence at Gibney through the Learning and Leadership Program in partnership with Wayne State University, Tomorrow a movement exploration of how one can stay fiercely hopeful for a better tomorrow. In this process we researched lightness and heaviness emotionally, physically and mentally. We dance through being pulled apart and sticking together, through hysteria and reality, through presence and distance.
“In March, Gibney welcomed the senior dancers of Wayne State University for a rich week of creation, exploration, and professional development in New York City.At the heart of the residency was the development of a new work titled Tomorrow, created by choreographer Gianna Burright in collaboration with composer Sio Tepper. This powerful piece—set to premiere in Detroit during WSU’s spring 2025 performances—was shared as a work-in-progress showing in Studio C for an invited audience of alumni and guests.”
