Since 2007, Works & Process has produced sold-out performances of Sergei Prokofiev’s charming children’s classic Peter & the Wolf, directed and narrated by Isaac Mizrahi. After over one hundred performances, Mizrahi was inspired to create an homage to this iconic work, and during the COVID-19 pandemic Works & Process commissioned Third Bird. Highlighting a cast of eight—including a flying bluebird, a swimming duck, and a running ostrich—danced by Dance Heginbotham, accompanied by Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect, and conducted by Michael P. Atkinson, Third Bird celebrates each individual’s unique strengths.

No matter how tall or small, everyone needs a ticket.

Commissioned by Works & Process, Third Bird was developed in a Works & Process bubble residency at Catskill Mountain Foundation in spring 2021 with the support from the Mellon Foundation and Doris Duke Foundation. Third Bird also received a Works & Process LaunchPAD residency in winter 2021 at The Church in Sag Harbor, New York.

Rocket City New Music

Season 3 Opener
3…2…1… LOOK!

Rocket City New Music is counting down to our season opener at The Electric Belle. We will explore how music is much more than just sound; it can express everything we can’t quite say with words and transport us without ever leaving our seat. In this genre-bending display of today’s most exciting composers, we will look to the uncharted for knowledge, look for the beauty in the chaos, look for the contradictions in certainty, and meaning in tragedy.
