OUR LATEST ONE
// Special appearances //
GIG in smaller, more concentrated doses. (Cures the common concert.)
miniGIGs
The "miniGIG" was created so live dance could collide with live music a little more casually and a lot more frequently.
GIGsters partner up with singer/songwriters and perform original pieces in unconventional venues and sometimes slightly tight spaces -- inviting new audiences to experience dance in unexpected ways.

PAST miniGIGS
Whitney G-Bowley had the
chance to contribute to the
Kickstarter campaign that
support the amazing
singer/songwriter team,
Barnaby Bright. Her perk
was their latest release --
which was fantastic -- and
inspired her to create a
brand new piece with 8 dedicated dancers to Barnaby Bright's
title track, "This is Life." Guided by their conceptual lyrics and
driving music, G-Bowley put together a performance piece in a futuristic fictional landscape.

A few months after
performing the premiere of
GIG with Caleb at the
Highline Ballroom, we were
extremely excited when he
unexpectedly invited us to
grace the alter at The Stoop

Jordan Fife Hunt, and
Whitney G-Bowley worked out a special version of choreography done to Caleb's original song, "My Own Two Feet," for the congregation of music lovers that gathered on that fine summer night. Amen.
