The Under Construction Series offers audiences an inside look into the creative process of the Armory’s artists-in-residence, who set up studios and offer intimate public previews of works-in-progress in the disciplines of dance, theater, music, and visual art. The Armory’s period rooms provide a unique backdrop for these workshops, serving as both inspiration and as a collaborator in the development of their works.

Previous artists-in-residence have included director and designer Julian Crouch, choreographer Faye Driscoll, soprano Lauren Flanigan, artist Ralph Lemon, maverick musician and composer Meredith Monk, post-classical string quartet ETHEL, playwright and director Young Jean Lee, performance artist Okwui Okpokwasili, Shen Wei Dance Arts, and singer/songwriter Somi.
