Championing artists and their creative process at each step from studio to stage, Works & Process announces its dynamic fall 2025 season. Taking place at Guggenheim New York, Manhattan West, and the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, the season includes premieres, rotunda dance parties, creative residencies, and performances that bring audiences closer to the artistic process. Three Works & Process commissions will premiere in the Guggenheim’s Peter B. Lewis Theater: Food Opera: Carême: The Taster, a first-of-its-kind collaboration by Sensable, Alchemist Restaurant, and Studio Simkin; Tell Me Where It Comes From by Emily Coates, tracing early Balanchine archives through performance; and The NutWAACKer, Princess Lockerooo’s reimagining of the holiday classic through the lens of New York City’s underground dance culture.
Works & Process rotunda dance parties return to Guggenheim New York featuring Dance Theatre of Harlem and Ailey Extension. Each evening includes a performance and conversation in the theater, followed by participatory dance lessons in the rotunda. This season, Works & Process will present two rotunda projects. On October 15, a tribute to Robert Rauschenberg’s dance collaborations with Trisha Brown and Paul Taylor, in conjunction with Robert Rauschenberg: Life Can’t Be Stopped. On December 17, a presentation of The Hikers, directed by Rashid Johnson with choreography by Claudia Schrier, in conjunction with Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers.
The fall season launches on September 3 with Gather Round: Let’s Dance!, a vibrant, free outdoor series hosted in collaboration with Brookfield Properties Arts & Events at Manhattan West. Every Wednesday in September at 5:00 pm, talented New York City–based dancers and choreographers will bring social dance traditions to life through captivating performances, engaging instruction, and lively open dance parties, inviting all to join in the celebration of movement and community.
Beyond New York City, Works & Process continues its commitment to artist development through more than 25 fully funded creative residencies annually. Spanning Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont, the program builds on the acclaimed bubble residencies launched during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since its inception, Works & Process has supported over 1,000 artists through more than 100 residencies, many of which have received prestigious awards and toured nationally and internationally––including with the U.S. State Department. This fall, five Works & Process commissions will continue to tour, further amplifying the voices and visions nurtured through these residencies.
General ticketing starts August 4. A detailed schedule of events can be found at worksandprocess.org.
