About the Event
About Gabrielle Lamb
Choreographer and 2020 Guggenheim Fellow, Lamb is based in New York City, where she directs Pigeonwing Dance, described by The New Yorker as “eccentric … playful … curious.” Her work has been presented by American Ballet Theatre, the New York Choreographic Institute, the MIT Museum, BalletX, the Juilliard School, Jacob’s Pillow and Dance on Camera Festival at Lincoln Center. She has won competitions at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Milwaukee Ballet, and the Banff Centre, as well as the S&R Foundation’s Washington Award and a Princess Grace Award. A native of Savannah, Georgia, she trained at the Boston Ballet School and was a soloist at Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, later performing with Morphoses/The Wheeldon Company in NYC. She has been praised by Dance Magazine as “a dancer of stunning clarity who illuminates the smallest details — qualities she brings to the dances she makes, too.” In 2022, Lamb choreographed the film “The Choreography of CRISPR,” embodying and illuminating CRISPR gene editing. Commissioned by the MIT Museum, the work debuted as part of the exhibition “Gene Cultures.”. Lamb was also the 2024 Hearst Choreographer in Residence at Princeton University.
