 Music Dances - Balanchine choreographs Stravinsky.
Published: Conceived, written and narrated by Stephanie Jordan, Research Professor in Dance at Roehampton University of Surrey, this video celebrates the seminal 20th-century collaboration between a great composer and a great choreographer, demonstrating the extraordinary range of ways in which Balanchine approached Stravinsky's music. The major focus is Agon, but sections from many other Stravinsky/Balanchine ballets are analysed, including Apollo, Duo Concertant and Divertimento. The video presents dancers from New York City Ballet (Peter Boal, Albert Evans, Alexander Ritter, Jennifer Tinsley, Kathleen Tracey, and Wendy Whelan) with recent performance footage and rare archival scenes, including Suzanne Farrell and Violette Verdy. (Playing time 96 minutes.)
