About Caleb Teicher & Nic Gareiss

Caleb Teicher is a Bessie Award-winning performer, choreographer, and director who began their career as a founding member of Dorrance Dance, then in 2015 shifted their creative focus towards concert dance work with Caleb Teicher & Company. Nic Gareiss, named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch,” draws from many percussive dance practices to weave together a technique facilitating his love of improvisation; clog, flatfoot, and step dance vocabulary; and musical collaboration. Teicher and Gareiss are lauded for their status within their respective genres, with The New York Times naming Teicher “a rhythm connoisseur known for interdisciplinary collaborations" and Gareiss “a virtuoso step dancer in Irish and Appalachian traditions… an undersung treasure.”

Teicher previously performed at Jacob’s Pillow with Caleb Teicher & Company in appearances on the outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage in 2014, 2016, and 2017 as part of the Inside/Out series. In 2018, Caleb Teicher & Company with Conrad Tao developed work in a Pillow Lab residency, which led to a summer run in the Doris Duke Theatre in 2019. Teicher also appeared in SW!NG OUT in the Ted Shawn Theatre in 2022 and performed an excerpt of Rhapsody in Blue alongside Conrad Tao at Jacob’s Pillow’s Season Opening Gala in 2024. Gareiss served as an artistic advisor during Caleb Teicher & Company’s 2018 Pillow Lab, and as the footwork coach in the company’s 2019 run in the Doris Duke Theatre.
