Works & Process: "Never Alone" by Andy Blankenbuehler
Company:
Works & Process
Works & Process at the Guggenheim presents the Never Alone by Andy Blankenbuehler, on February 7, 2025 at the Peter B. Lewis Theater, 1071 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10128 at 7pm. Tickets start at $25 and can be purchased here.
See a first look of director and choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler’s new work, Never Alone, which culminates a Works & Process LaunchPAD residency at Potash Hill and a Jacob’s Pillow's Pillow Lab.
Set during World War II, Never Alone follows the story of a woman with an unmatched gift for breaking codes and a British naval officer aboard a submarine deep in the perils of the U-boat war in the North Atlantic. Their love affair begins in a basement dance hall in bomb-cratered London, where they dance away the horrors of war. Never Alone is a story about committing everything to fighting an enemy that cannot be seen. It is about the loneliness that can accompany that fight, but it is also an affirmation that where the heart is involved, we are truly not alone. Blankenbuehler participates in a discussion moderated by Artistic and Executive Director of Jacob's Pillow Pamela Tatge, and highlights from the first chapter of Never Alone are performed.
