Works & Process informs artistic creation through conversation and performance,[ambiguous] and is presented in the Guggenheim’s Frank Lloyd Wright–designed Peter B. Lewis Theater.
After over 300 productions, Works & Process is now recognized as a pioneer in creating programs that provide access to leading performing artists, writers, choreographers, composers, scientists, and directors.
[2] Noteworthy programs include a preview of the Broadway musical Fun Home in spring 2015, Shuffle Along (with director George C. Wolfe and performer Brian Stokes Mitchell) in spring 2016, surveys of the seasons of the American Ballet Theatre, NYCB, New York City Opera, and Metropolitan Opera, and conversations and performances with artists such as Philip Glass.
The series annually produces a holiday season production of Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, narrated by Isaac Mizrahi, and featuring different visual elements (sometimes choreography or costuming, and in 2011 giant balloon sculptures by Jason Hackenwerth[3]) for children and families.
The first set of commissions will be performed in spring and fall 2017, created by MacArthur Genius Grant recipient choreographer Michelle Dorrance and American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Daniil Simkin respectively.
