Jordana Leigh^US

Jordana Leigh is Senior Vice President of Artistic Programming at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, where she has developed a programming that is genuinely wide-ranging and cross-disciplinary.

Over the course of her tenure, she has curated and produced more than a thousand performances featuring artists from over 100 nations, developed 11 series spanning salsa music, poetry, and youth performance, and commissioned 60 artists. She opened the David Rubenstein Atrium and oversaw the reopening of the renovated David Geffen Hall, two milestones that reflect her role as both a programmer and a builder of spaces where culture lives.

Her work consistently crosses genres and art forms. She has co-produced projects with the NY Philharmonic, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and New York City Ballet, and has collaborated with acclaimed visual artists including Carrie Mae Weems, Mickalene Thomas, Kambui Olujimi, and Rashid Johnson, bringing visual and performance arts into genuine dialogue

Leigh is currently leading Lincoln Center’s expansion into XR arts. In June 2024, she premiered Dream Machine, a commissioned project by Nona Hendryx that spanned the entire Lincoln Center campus and featured VR, AR, AI, and immersive installation. She also designed and oversees the Collider Fellowship, a nine-month residence for artists working at the intersection of arts and technology.
