Faye Driscoll

Faye Driscoll is a Doris Duke Award-winning performance maker who has been hailed as a “startlingly original talent” by The New York Times and “a post-millenium postmodern wild woman” by The Village Voice. She was the 2021-2022 Randjelovic/Stryker Resident Commissioned Artist at New York Live Arts, and is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Bessie award, and the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award among many others.

Her work has been presented at Wexner Center for the Arts, ICA Boston, MCA Chicago, REDCAT, OZ Arts, and BAM, and internationally at Tanz im August, Kunstenfestivaldesarts (2021, 2024), La Biennale di Venezia, Festival d’Automne à Paris (2015, 2023), Melbourne Festival, Julidans Amsterdam, Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, Athens Epidaurus Festival, Centro de Arte Experimental in Buenos Aires, Festival Dias da Dança in Porto, and Festival TransAmeriques (Montreal). Faye received an Obie Award (2023) and the Grand Prix (2024) at the Prix de la Danse de Montréal for her latest performance-installation, Weathering, which is currently touring internationally.

Driscoll’s first ever solo exhibition, Come On In (2020), opened at Walker Art Center and then went on to Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, On the Boards, and Esplanade in Singapore. Driscoll most recently premiered a brand new site-specific work for the shoreline of Rockaway Beach (Queens, NY) called Oceanic Feeling (2024) as part of Beach Sessions Dance Series’ 10th anniversary season.
