GREYZONE

Lindy Fines is the choreographer and artistic director of GREYZONE, a NYC-based multimedia dance project that she co-founded with creative director Justin Fines. Melding deconstructed ballet and modern dance vocabularies, visual arts, and time-based media, GREYZONE’s works for film and stage uncover non-narrative theatricality and highlight the ritual of performance.

In 2021, Lindy was a GALLIM Moving Artist-in-Residence, and in 2019 GREYZONE was a NYFA Artist Fellow in Choreography through New York Foundation for the Arts. 

The Oklahoma International Dance Festival presented GREYZONE’s premiere of ASSEMBLY in 2021 (inaugural Artist-in-Residence, University of Central Oklahoma). Featuring music by Sivan Jacobovitz and costumes by Victoria Yee Howe and House of 950, ASSEMBLY was supported by The Harkness Foundation for Dance, New Music USA, a 2021 Foundation for Contemporary Arts (FCA) Emergency Grant and a 2020 FCA Emergency Grant (COVID-19 Fund). In 2022, an excerpt of the work was presented by the 92NY Future Dance Festival, and the NYC premiere was performed at Paul Taylor Studios. 

GREYZONE collaborations include dance film RIFT with director Lia Bonfilio (92NY; Out-FRONT! Fest), dance film PENUMBRA with composer Steve Hauschildt (Nevada Museum of Art; 17 screenings worldwide), BLOOM (APAP, City Center Studios; University Settlement; Dance Gallery Festival, Ailey Citigroup Theater), DRIFT with visual artist Maia Ruth Lee (Performance Mix at Abrons Arts Center, supported by a 2016 FCA Emergency Grant), MATTER CHANGES HANDS (Movement Research at the Judson Church, Brooklyn Ballet), dance film QUEENS DUETS (5 screenings worldwide), and VEHICLE with illustrator Mike Perry. 

GREYZONE has had additional residencies at Bethany Arts Community (NY), The Croft (MI), Socrates Sculpture Park (Queens, NY), and New Dance Alliance (NYC). Lindy earned a BFA from the University of Oklahoma and trained on scholarship at the Merce Cunningham Dance Studio.
