Works & Process announces upcoming performances at Manhattan West Plaza, 385 Ninth Avenue, New York, NY 10001. Presented in partnership with Brookfield Properties Arts & Events at Manhattan West, - New York City’s dynamic destination for work and leisure - this free outdoor series brings dance to one of the city’s most inviting public spaces. Just steps away from The Shed and home to some of the best dining, lodging and wellness destinations in New York City, Manhattan West offers an energetic backdrop for colorful and meaningful performances like these. Every Wednesday in September at 5pm, New York City–based dancers and choreographers will celebrate social dance traditions through performance, instruction, and open dance parties. See the performance schedule below.

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.
