“The LEIMAY Incubator Artist Residency program is a generous program that gave me the space & time to explore new choreographic ideas in a non-hurried & supportive way. The freedom to create without a specific deliverable is really special & radical. There’s a respect for the process of creation that feels spacious and respectful. The space is intimate, historic & worked really well for the suite of portrait-solos I was working on this spring. I enjoyed the sense of community developed with the LEIMAY team & the other resident artists”. – Beau Bree Rhee, Incubator Artist, 2023

Press Quote – Brooklyn Rail, Love is Shock by Shinichi Koga, NYBF 2003
“Hiding under mounds of a gorgeous fabric cloak, (Koga) softly blew a white kerchief from his face and peaked out curiously. A charming presence, he was rooted but levitating; within this tiny gem of a dance a path from dark to light moved like a stream. Eventually, letting down the burden of his cloak, he stomped on it as he turned in a slow circle. I overheard an audience member say “I want to marry that dance.”’’ – Alissa Cardone, “Butoh: The Good of Going Out of Style,” The Brooklyn Rail, 2004
Testimonial – Ari LaMora
“I am so grateful to have been provided this time and space through LEIMAY. It allowed me to have a safe space to explore and create without physical limitations such as a couch or dining room table, as well as without mental limitations such as roommates interrupting. It was so nice to begin and end my days in a space to process, reflect and grow. The community created and provided through the Incubator Program is something that I will cherish moving forward.” – Ari LaMora, Incubator Artist, 2022
