The Church, Guild Hall and Works & Process at the Guggenheim presents LaunchPAD “Process as Destination” pilot, collaborating to nurture region-wide support for creative process and encourage artists and audiences to embrace the artistic process as destination.
This winter, two projects set to premiere at Works & Process at the Guggenheim in 2022 will receive fully funded residencies at The Church, Sag Harbor, including artist fees, devoted rehearsal space, living accommodations, transportation, and healthcare insurance coverage. The Church will host the artists for these two residencies and provide space in its historic building for rehearsals and all programs. In partnership The Church and Guild Hall are co-organizing community events for younger local artists to interact with these extraordinary groups. In anticipation of their theater renovation, Guild Hall is partnering organizations to produce off-site programs.
To foster greater understanding for the artistic process, the public is invited to observe open rehearsals, attend community events co-organized by The Church and Guild Hall, and attend in-process presentations and discussions designed to promote appreciation for the complexities of the artistic process. All programs take place at The Church.
The programs include “Third Bird” with libretto by Isaac Mizrahi, music by Nico Muhly, and choreography by John Heginbotham, happening November 29 to December 5. The next is “New York Is Burning” by Les Ballet Afrik with Omari Wiles happening January 3 to 13.
