CLYMOVE 6th Anniversary Season at New York Live Arts
QUIET REBELLION IN TECHNICOLOR
April 9–11, 2026
CLYMOVE celebrates a powerful milestone with its 6th Anniversary Season at New York Live Arts, April 9–11, 2026—a three-day event honoring six years of bold artistry, community building, and creative risk-taking.
The weekend opens on April 9 with a festive Gala Performance and After Party, launching the season with an evening that reflects CLYMOVE’s commitment to innovation, connection, and artistic excellence. Centered on the transformative power of women’s mentorship, the gala will honor Dr. Phyllis Penney with the Elisa Monte Leadership Legacy Award, named for Clymene Aldinger’s mentor and longtime artistic advisor, Elisa Monte. Dr. Penney served as a formative mentor to Aldinger during her time as both a student and educator at the Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, making the recognition deeply personal and profoundly meaningful.
Across the weekend, audiences will experience two world premieres—new works by Clymene Aldinger and Ashley Kaylynn Green of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater—alongside two critically acclaimed fan-favorite works from the CLYMOVE repertory. Together, these works showcase the company’s signature blend of visceral movement, emotional depth, and fearless experimentation.
This anniversary season is both a reflection and a forward gaze—celebrating where CLYMOVE has been, the artists and mentors who have shaped its journey, and the bold creative future still unfolding. Don’t miss this landmark event.
