In his most recent role as the Director of Sundance Institute’s Theatre Program, Christopher Hibma built one of the world’s leading brands and most diverse rosters of artist activities. In his role, he worked to expand the Program’s cultural impact outside the American context, with an emphasis on storytelling that incorporated a multiplicity of cultures particularly from East Africa and the Arab region/diaspora.

Christopher crafts creative environments for artists to luxuriate in their animating impulses. He has designed spaces & programming at MASS MoCA in the Berkshires, at Ucross Foundation on a cattle ranch in Wyoming, at Luma Foundation in Arles, France and in capitals across the Arab region and East Africa. He has developed a set of organizing principles and anticolonialist values when developing programs with partners across international borders and contexts.

Christopher incorporates the principles rigor, grace & intention as he cultivates the talents of storytellers, thinkers and leaders as he designs into their best instincts.

He and his husband have a daughter and live in Minnesota.
