Dance at Guggenheim Works and Process Fall 2015

Each intimate, 80–minute performance combines artistic creation with stimulating conversation, and takes place in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s Frank Lloyd Wright–designed, 285–seat Peter B. Lewis Theater in New York. A reception for the audience and artists follows most programs. In the past these programs have been livestreamed and available online after the event.
