Troy Lingelbach with INTERNATIONAL LOVER - Jamestown Dance Festival 2026

September 10 (7pm) & September 13 (2pm) – Troy Lingelbach: International Lover
Location: Scharmann Theater, JCC
Prepare to look up.
Aerial artist and interdisciplinary performer Troy Lingelbach brings International Lover, their debut solo work, to Scharmann Theater for two performances as part of the Jamestown Dance Festival.
Blending aerial arts, dance, performance art, burlesque, and physical theater, International Lover is an autobiographical journey between an artist and their trapeze. Through breathtaking movement and radical vulnerability, Lingelbach explores identity, queer self-acceptance, intimacy, and transformation while quite literally redefining what dance can look like in space.
Performed in the intimate setting of Scharmann Theater, audiences will experience an awe-inspiring work that expands movement beyond the stage and into the air itself.
This performance is part of the Jamestown Dance Festival, a five-day celebration of dance, movement, and cultural exchange taking place throughout Jamestown from September 9–13, 2026. Additional festival events include festival anchors Music From the Sole and Sun Kim Dance Theater at the Reg Lenna on Sept 11, contemporary and postmodern works by TwinHead Dance, Rik Daniels, and Jim Self, workshops led by featured artists, film screenings, artist talks, and community engagement events.
Founded by Sukanya Burman Dance, the Jamestown Dance Festival was created from a simple belief: that communities of all sizes deserve access to world-class artistic experiences. The festival brings nationally and internationally recognized artists to Western New York while creating opportunities for meaningful dialogue, cultural exchange, education, and community connection through movement. By presenting diverse dance forms and interdisciplinary performance practices alongside local engagement opportunities, JDF seeks to expand perceptions of what dance can be, who it is for, and how it can foster empathy, understanding, and belonging.
This presentation is made possible through the generous support of the New York State Council on the Arts, NYS DanceForce, Arts Services Inc., the Chautauqua Regional Community Foundation, Chautauqua County's Occupancy Tax Program, Live CHQ, and partnerships with the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts, Jamestown Community College, and the Robert H Jackson Center.
