Performance and Community Outreach
A contemporary dance company based in New York City. Founded in 2014 by Fadi J. Khoury and Sevin Ceviker. Through its performances FJK Dance supports cross-cultural dialogue, a unique fusion of contemporary dance and visual art. At its core, the FJK vision in dance reflects an immigrant journey and belief in the power of the performing arts and bringing people together of all background. Fadi J Khoury’s creative process is anchored in peace building, breaking boundaries, and challenging cultural stereotypes through the company’s programming in community outreach and performance. Nationally, FJK Dance presents annual seasons at New York Live Arts in addition to performing in several dance festivals like Jacob's Pillow, Battery Dance and Dumbo Dance.
The Company continues its commitment to building a cross-cultural dialogue as they engage with diverse audiences around the globe and in the U.S. Their work draws from the opportunities and collaborations developed through international and national touring. In countries such as China, Japan, and Lebanon, their programs have laid foundations for understanding and appreciation between different cultures. FJK Dance community outreach programs help spread their message of unity and tolerance, to this end, they offer workshops, performances, and lecture demonstrations at educational institutions and non-profit organizations. FJK Dance is actively involved at Kings County Hospital (Brooklyn, NY) as an Artist-in-Residence. They support the hospital’s efforts to create greater awareness and acceptance in society for mental health and wellness through “site-specific installations” of dance and visual art.
