It was Duke Dang, the general manager of Works & Process, who first approached Dr. Ziecheck. In a telephone interview, Mr. Dang said he had been thinking about how the actor and film producer Tyler Perry had put his cast and crew in a bubble to keep working, as had the N.B.A., and wondered if this could be a model for Works & Process. By early June, he was booking artists and residency centers in upstate New York that were going unused. It helps that Dr. Ziecheck was a dancer in a previous life. “I like to say I’m a much better doctor than I ever was a dancer!” she said in a Skype conversation.
