Since founding CT&Co in 2015, Teicher’s artistic reach has expanded to commissions from Works & Process @ the Guggenheim, Fall For Dance @ New York City Center, several engagements with symphony orchestras (including the National Symphony Orchestra @ the Kennedy Center), and many touring engagements with the company’s rep. 

 

Caleb also continues to engage with local and international dance communities by teaching at Tap and Swing festivals around the world. 

 

Conrad Tao has appeared worldwide as a pianist and composer, performing to universal acclaim from critics and audiences alike. His accolades and awards include being a Presidential Scholar in the Arts, a YoungArts gold medal- winner in music, a Gilmore Young Artist, and an Avery Fisher Career Grant-winner.

Works & Process at the Guggenheim
Described by 
The New York Times as “an exceptional opportunity to understand something of the creative process,” for over 34 years and in over 500 productions, New Yorkers have been able to see, hear, and meet the most acclaimed artists in the world, in an intimate setting unlike any other. Works & Process, the performing arts series at the Guggenheim, has championed new works and offered audiences unprecedented access to generations of leading creators and performers. Most performances take place in the Guggenheim’s intimate Frank Lloyd Wright-designed 285-seat Peter B. Lewis Theater. In 2017, Works & Process established a new residency and commissioning program, inviting artists to create new works, made in and for the iconic Guggenheim rotunda. worksandprocess.org.
