What a pleasure to welcome lots of new and old friends to the Open House for Collective for Dance Writing and New Media at the Gibney Dance Center last evening! We thank everyone who came, especially our new and prospective members. Big thanks, also, to our great interns and volunteers on the scene, to our fantastic guests--Shay Wafer, Executive Director of 651 Arts, and dance artists Marjani Forté and Kyle Abraham--and to the ever-generous Gina Gibney and her staff.

Enjoy this gallery of photos from the event and, if you didn't make it last night, don't worry: We're working on more get-togethers for sharing--artists-to-writers, artists-to-audience, and dance world-to-outside world. We'll announce exciting news in the coming weeks. Be sure to join us next time!
