American Ballet Theatre
is
recognized as one of the great dance
companies in the world. Few ballet
companies equal ABT for its
combination of size, scope and
outreach. Recognized as a living
national treasure since its founding
in 1940, ABT annually tours the
United States, performing for more
than 600,000 people, and is the only
major cultural institution to do so.
It has also made more than 15
international tours to 42 countries
as perhaps the most representative
American ballet company and has been
sponsored by the State Department of
the United States on many of these
engagements. In May 2006, the United
States Congress names ABT “America’s
National Ballet Company” in
recognition for 65 years of cultural
and educational service.
Works & Process at the Guggenheim,
for over 23 years and in over 300
productions, has been a pioneer in
creating ground-breaking, carefully
crafted programs which uniquely
blend performance and discussion,
providing unprecedented access to
today’s leading performing artists,
choreographers, composers, writers,
and directors. Described by
The New York Times
as “a popular series devoted to
shedding light on the creative
process,” by
The Village Voice
as “revelatory,” and by
The New Yorker
as “exceptional,” Works & Process
has become well respected by both
artists and audiences alike and is
produced by Mary Sharp Cronson.
