LaneCoArts is a New York-based multi-arts company that examines the intersecting relationship between dance, theater and the visual arts. In her dance theater works, Artistic Director and choreographer Lane Gifford explores the concept of communication in today’s technologically driven world through a self-referential process of collaboration with other artists where the juxtaposed creative languages, engender a process of essential interchange, communication and cross-pollination. The goal is to connect with today’s audience through meaningful social commentary and physically charged dance dramas. The mission of the company is to create a rich and dynamic dialogue that fuses a distinctive movement aesthetic, deep emotional exploration and stimulating visual and dramatic narrative components.
