Among his other recent projects have been Lil Buck @ Le Poisson Rouge, an award winning show featuring Lil Buck, Yo-Yo Ma and an array of stellar musicians; an arts salute to Stephen Hawking at Lincoln Center; and the first performance of the White House Dance Series, which took place in the East Room of the White House and was hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama.〔(At the White House, dancers get room to move in the East Room — The Washington Post )〕 Woetzel works with Yo-Yo Ma on his Silk Road Connect program in the New York City Public Schools, and on “Arts Strike” events which they have pioneered as a format for artists to engage in public service. In 2012, Woetzel co-produced the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to honoree Natalia Makarova, and for the 2014 Honors he co-produced the salute to honoree Patricia McBride.〔(Kennedy Center Honors: A whirlwind weekend for Patricia McBride — The Charlotte Observer )〕 In 2009, Woetzel became the founding director of the Jerome Robbins Foundation's New Essential Works (NEW) Program, which over a five-year period initiated grants to enable the production of 35 new dance works. In March 2015, it was announced that Woetzel will curate a new series for the Kennedy Center's 2015-2016 season.〔(Jason Moran and Other Guest Artists to Curate Kennedy Center Season — The New York Times )〕
