It’s Episode Four, and time to pack up and go home, back to the city. The performers got outside into the sunshine for some final antics, stretches, and tap-offs. OMARI WILES of LES BALLET AFRIK calls it “euphoria”. The artists were permitted to perform outdoors for a small audience at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park. Joy for all.

Performances were filmed at the Kaatsbaan Festival. Others were filmed outdoors at Lincoln Center in quarantined conditions, allowing the performers to work without masks. The exciting results will premiere live at the Guggenheim when health regulations permit.
During all of this, everyone was COVID-tested again and again, always with negative results. The participants and sponsors are proud to announce that their quarantine protocols worked perfectly. They have established a process that can be duplicated by others to further artistic interaction during this pandemic.

Lead funding for Works & Process is provided by the Ford Foundation, the Christian Humann Foundation, Leon Levy Foundation, Mertz Gilmore Foundation, NYC COVID-19 Response and Impact Fund, Stavros Niarchos Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and Evelyn Sharp Foundation. The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, supplied public funds. The U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program and NYC Employee Retention Grant Program also provided financial assistance.

A wonderful, inspiring accomplishment by everyone!
