staibdance

Founded in 2007, staibdance is an Atlanta-based contemporary dance company known for its raw physicality, arresting imagery, & emotionally charged theatricality. Led by Iranian-Armenian Artistic Director George Staib , the company creates immersive evening-length works that draw from multicultural perspectives to probe the complexity of the human experience. Each project is crafted with rigor and risk, inviting audiences into spaces of reckoning, beauty, and shared humanity. With nine original works in its repertoire, three currently touring, staibdance has been presented by the American Dance Festival, Opening Nights at Florida State University, Alabama Dance Festival, Temple University, and The Historic Bama Theatre, among others. Its most recent production, between dog and wolf, unfolded across five distinct Atlanta locations during a month-long run in October 2025, exemplifying the company’s commitment to bold, place-based performance. Beyond the stage, staibdance invests deeply in artistic development and cultural exchange. Root Theory , its annual winter intensive, merges rigorous movement research with cross-disciplinary inquiry. Its two-week summer intensive in Sorrento, Italy unites world-renowned faculty with 50 emerging artists for immersive study, artistic exploration and transformative experiences.
