Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers,
Works &amp; Process co-presents The
Hikers,
staged
live under the direction of Rashid
Johnson and
choreographed by Claudia

featuring Martha
Graham Dance Company dancers Lloyd Knight,

and
Pianist Aku Orraca-Tetteh

Originally
conceived by Johnson as a film, The Hikers tells
the story of two anxious travelers who cross paths and share an
unexpected, profound connection for a fleeting moment.
 

For
this special presentation, the work has been reimagined to be
performed live in the Guggenheim’s rotunda, amplifying the dialogue
between movement, architecture, and Johnson’s expansive practice.
The performance features Lloyd Knight and Leslie
Andrea Williams, both acclaimed members of the Martha
Graham Dance Company, with live piano accompaniment by composer
and multi-instrumentalist, Aku Orraca-Tetteh. Aku
Orraca-Tetteh is the pianist, harmonizer for Florence +
Machine and frequent collaborator of Saul Williams,
Santigold, TV On the Radio, and Bill T. Jones.
 

The
evening includes a viewing of Johnson’s mid-career survey at the
Guggenheim: Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers,
which features The Hikers in its original film
format.

The
92nd Street Y, New York (92NY)
presents Sharon
Isbin, guitar at
Kaufmann Concert Hall, 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10128, on
Thursday, December 18, 2025 at 7:30 PM. Tickets start at $45
in-person and $25 to livestream and are available at
<a href="https://www.92ny.org/event/sharon-isbin-guitar" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.92ny.org/event/sharon-isbin-guitar</a>.


 

“[Isbin
brings] nuances out of the classical guitar few guitarists since
Segovia have matched.”
– Chicago
Tribune
 

“one
of the best guitarists in the world” – Boston
Globe
 


Multi-Grammy
Award winner Sharon Isbin is a guitar legend and a pioneer in shaping
the legacy of her instrument. She returns to 92NY – where she has
been essential to the art of the guitar for four decades – with
music born of personal passions, repertoire-expanding works composed
for her, and guitar classics she has made her own. Central to the
program is John Duarte’s moving Joan
Baez Suite –
written for Isbin and inspired by songs associated with one of her
musical heroes, including “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,”
“House of the Rising Sun,” “Barbara Allen” and others. The
work appears on Isbin’s Grammy-winning Journey
to the New World, which
features Baez on two tracks. “Sharon’s exquisite playing allowed
me to revisit and fall in love with these songs all over again,”
says Baez.
 


Isbin’s
virtuosity is on brilliant display in works written for her by Tan
Dun and Bruce MacCombie, which push the guitar to new realms, and in
homage to Spain's pivotal role in the American Revolution, the full
range of her artistry is showcased in works by Enrique Granados,
Francisco Tárrega, and Paraguayan guitar master Agustín Barrios. A
banquet of music and artistry for guitar lovers.

La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club

La
MaMa Experimental Theatre Club presents
the World Premiere of Birth
+ Carnage,
a dance work by choreographer and director Marla
Phelan from
December 19–21, 2025 at The Ellen Stewart Theatre, 66 East 4th
Street, New York, NY, 10003. Tickets are $35 and $30 for students and
seniors (includes fees). Ten tickets to every performance are
$10 each, first-come, first-served – in advance, online only.
For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit
<a href="https://www.lamama.org/birth-carnage/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.lamama.org/birth-carnage/</a>.


 

Birth
+ Carnage is a dance work fusing choreography, astrophysics,
and video installation. Born from the collaboration between
choreographer Marla Phelan and astrophysicist Dr. Blakesley
Burkhart, the piece is inspired by the astrophysical phenomenon
of stellar birth as both visceral metaphor and choreographic
framework. 

 

In
collaboration with director Tim
Richardson and
video artists KLSR and <a href="https://reinfected.me/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">REINFECTED.ME</a>,
astrophysical data is abstracted into shifting visual fields that
echo cycles of creation. An ensemble of dancers performs against the
backdrop of a monolithic digital installation, creating a feedback
loop of allegory and sensation. The original score by James
Newberry deepens
the emotional terrain through epic sonic landscapes.
 

Birth
+ Carnage invites audiences into a theatrical abyss
where cosmic and human systems mirror one another—bridging the
vastness of the universe and the depths of human connection.

92NY
Harkness Dance Center announces What Flows Between Us: A
Festival of India’s Classical Arts in Cross-Cultural Dialogue,
a day-long immersion into the depth, rigor, and expansive imagination
of the Indian classical arts. Curated by renowned kathak artist,
choreographer, educator, and 92NY Artist in Residence Rachna
Nivas, the festival gathers extraordinary women from North and
South Indian classical music, dance, percussion, and poetry—artists
whose lifelong devotion to mastery is matched by their thoughtful
engagement with cross-genre collaboration. Vendor markets will be
active throughout the day, offering traditional food and artisanal
goods and the festival culminates with the New York premiere of
SPEAK, a groundbreaking rhythmic conversation between
kathak and American tap featuring Nivas, Fulbright scholar Rukhmani
Mehta, MacArthur Fellow Michelle Dorrance, and tap
legend Dormeshia.
 


The
festival is presented as part of Women Move the World,
92NY’s 2025/26 Harkness Mainstage Series. For tickets and more
information, visit <a href="https://www.92ny.org/event/what-flows-between-us" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.92ny.org/event/what-flows-between-us</a>.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
 


What
Flows Between Us takes its name from the fluid intelligence
of feminine energy — like water and rivers, it is expansive,
adaptable, and shaped by the landscapes it moves through. While the
festival brings together classical traditions from North and South
India — forms with rigorously distinct movement languages, musical
systems, and histories that are often misunderstood as one — it
also illuminates the resonances they share with Western classical and
jazz: rhythm, improvisation, poetry, devotion, and the embodied
passing down of lineage.
 


But
the festival also emphasizes that true cross-genre dialogue can only
emerge from profound knowledge of one’s own form—a principle
rooted in Nivas’s training under her guru Pandit Chitresh Das.
Rather than “fusion,” these artists embody a shared ethos:
maintain the integrity of their form while finding common ground,
treating differences not as something to dilute or absorb, but as
essential to a world where plurality thrives.

The Ballantyne, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Charlotte

Opera
Carolina today announces the launch of the Classical Artists
Fund, a new philanthropic initiative designed to provide vital
support to the artists and creative professionals who bring opera to
life. The fund will make its public debut at Bella Notte: A
New Year’s Eve Masquerade Gala, held at The Ballantyne Hotel
and inspired by Mozart’s enchanting The Magic Flute.
 

Created
during a period of uncertainty for performing arts professionals, the
Classical Artists Fund will offer financial assistance across a
spectrum of needs—from auditions, training, and professional
development to emergency support and compensation for lost contracts.
Importantly, the fund extends beyond singers to encompass the full
ecosystem of opera: stagehands, union crews, costume and set
designers, directors, choreographers, musicians, and more.
 

“Opera
is powered by artists whose brilliance often outshines the challenges
they face behind the scenes,” said Dr. Shanté Williams, General
Director of Opera Carolina. “The Classical Artists Fund is our
promise to them—that their work, their wellbeing, and their
creative futures matter. We are building a safety net worthy of their
talent.”
 

To
celebrate the launch, Opera Carolina invites the community to an
unforgettable evening at Bella Notte. Guests will enjoy
live music, dancing, and an air of masquerade, featuring Charlotte’s
premier party band InfiniteSoul and Opera Carolina’s celebrated
Resident Company, highlighted by the exhilarating “Queen of the
Night” aria. The night concludes with a midnight champagne toast to
welcome 2026.
 

By
attending Bella Notte, patrons will play an active role
in sustaining the artists who shape the region’s cultural
landscape—ensuring they never face hardship in silence and that
their lives remain as vibrant as the art they create.

The magic is in the process. We're letting you in on the secret. Throughout spring 2026, Works &amp; Process will present a full slate of dynamic programs at Guggenheim New York, along with a special Martha Graham Dance Company performance at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice on May 8, coinciding with the opening of the Venice Biennale.

The season begins with the fourth Works &amp; Process Underground Uptown Dance Festival at Guggenheim New York, featuring six Works &amp; Process commissions January 9–13 as part of JanArtsNYC. Beyond New York City, Works &amp; Process will also present Dance Out East on Long Island January 9–11 in partnership with The Church in Sag Harbor, Guild Hall of East Hampton, and The Watermill Center. All featured projects in both festivals are supported through fully funded Works &amp; Process residencies that champion artists and their creative process.

In the Guggenheim’s Peter B. Lewis Theater, programs illuminating the creative process by blending artist discussion and performance will feature Opera Philadelphia, Signature Theatre, American Ballet Theatre, CATS: The Jellicle Ball, Miami City Ballet, Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Martha Graham Dance Company, the Metropolitan Opera, Philadelphia Ballet, Terrence McNally Recovery Commissions with Craig Lucas and Jake Brasch, a new work by Martha Graham dancer Xin Ying, and a preview of Jacob’s Pillow’s summer 2026 season.

Works &amp; Process Rotunda Dance Parties will return as well, including a salsa social with Sekou McMiller &amp; Friends and queer country line dancing with SCUFF, presented in partnership with Guggenheim Member Mondays.

The Uptown Rhythm Dance Festival also returns for two evenings, co-presented with 92NY and Dormeshia’s Ladies in the Shoe Tap Conference, featuring Naomi Funaki, Kukai Dantza, and Xianix Barrera.

As part of the Dance Reflections by Van Cleef &amp; Arpels Festival, Guggenheim New York and Works &amp; Process will present rotunda performances of Early Works by Lucinda Childs.

Championing artists and their creative process from studio to stage, Works &amp; Process supports more than 25 fully funded creative residencies each year across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont, in collaboration with a network of over a dozen partners. Since the program’s expansion from its innovative bubble residency program launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 1,000 artists have participated in over 100 Works &amp; Process residencies. Many of the works developed have gone on to receive awards grants, and tour nationally­­—and internationally, with the U.S. State Department. Four Works &amp; Process commissions will continue to tour this fall.
General ticketing starts December 9 at worksandprocess.org.

Dance
powerhouses&nbsp;Kristine Bendul &amp; Abdiel&nbsp;are known for
their work in Broadway and off-Broadway musical theatre productions,
ballet and modern concert dance, and their gender-neutral approach to
ballroom partnering, which equally exchanges roles of lead and
follow, with both in heels! During a weeklong Works &amp; Process
residency at The Church in Sag Harbor, Ron De Jesús will choreograph
a new piece for Kristine and Abdiel, blending Adagio partnering with
contemporary movement. De Jesús, who had an extensive career with
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and Twlya Tharp, has been recognized for
his work across concert dance and musical theatre. Set to “Black
Cream” by The Harold Wheeler Consort (1975), this new duet
reimagines classic Adagio patterns through a modern lens—honoring
the form’s history while exploring new lifts, transitions, and
expressive possibilities.

Join
us for a “first look” at what they’ve created together during
the residency, followed by a conversation with the artists.

performers.&nbsp;Palladium Nights&nbsp;is a new evening-length
choreographic work that explores the cultural legacy and artistic
impact of New York’s historic Palladium Ballroom (1940s–60s), a
vibrant site of exchange where Afro-Latin and African American
communities helped shape what we now recognize as Salsa/Mambo dance.
More than a nightclub, the Palladium was an incubator of innovation,
identity and social movement. This work honors that history while
engaging its ongoing influence on contemporary dance and culture.

The
Ballet Hispánico School offers a focus on rigorous ballet training
rooted in the Cuban tradition, alongside strengthened pedagogy across
Spanish and modern dance. Under the leadership of the new Director,
Blanca Huertas, the faculty has been expanded and refined to support
a deeper, more comprehensive technical foundation for every student.
The Ballet Hispánico School national audition tour will connect the
Company with talented student artists across the country and
internationally to find the next generation of student dancers.

“If
you want a program that pushes you, supports you, and gives you the
tools to succeed, The Ballet Hispánico School is where you want to
be,” said Blanca Huertas, Director.

David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center at The Pocantico Center

The
CUNY Dance Initiative (CDI), an expansive program providing New
York City choreographers and dance companies with creative
residencies on CUNY college campuses, announces new partnerships with
Works &amp; Process and The Pocantico Center in 2025-26.
 

The
core of CDI’s mission is providing NYC-based dance artists with
residencies on CUNY campuses--currently 14 colleges across the five
boroughs. As CDI has taken root, partnerships beyond the CUNY system
have become integral to CDI’s collaborative ethos and commitment to
expanding opportunities for artists while building audiences for
dance.
 

New
partnerships with Works &amp; Process and The
Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund for the
current residency cycle (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026) will each
provide an artist with a week-long residency outside of New York
City, in addition to a CDI studio residency that runs through June
2026. Works &amp; Process and the Queens College review panel jointly
selected whacking artist Nubian Néné, awarding her a CDI residency
at Queens College and a Works &amp; Process residency at Bethany Arts
Community (Ossining, NY) in May 2026. In addition to her CDI
rehearsal at Brooklyn College, Kayla Farrish has been invited for a
residency at The Pocantico Center (Tarrytown, NY) in February 2026
and will present a work-in-process showing at the David Rockefeller
Creative Arts Center on February 26, 2026.
