Faye Driscoll is a Bessie Award-winning choreographer who has been hailed as a "startlingly original talent" by the New York Times. She has been commissioned by Danspace Project, Walker Arts Center, ICA/Boston, The Kitchen, Dance Theater Workshop, and Wexner Center for the Arts, and presented internationally at Festival d’Automne a Paris, and the Croatian National Theatre. She has received a National Dance Project Award, MAP Fund Grant, Guggenheim Fellowship, Creative Capital award, and 2016 Doris Duke Artist Award, and residencies at the Baryshnikov Arts Center and Park Avenue Armory. Her current piece, "Thank You For Coming", premieres September 2016 at Wexner Center for the Arts.

Brooklyn-based choreographer Faye Driscoll is interested in excess, emotionality, and the messier aspects of what it means to be human. In her hyper-theatrical and subversively intimate trilogy "Thank You For Coming", performers and audience members come together in a shared space of culpability and care. While at Camargo, Driscoll began creating the third piece in this projected trilogy that proposes performance as shared political act, where performer and audience co-create reality. Driscoll’s work consists of rigorously crafted group experiences that come off as improvised, chaotic, and spontaneous.
