Balanchine Foundation video archives

Description

This video is devoted to examining selected passages of Balanchine's choreography in detail. In a studio setting, Frederic Franklin coaches Kristi Capps, Dmitri Trubchanov, Tricia A. Sundbeck, and the Cincinnati Ballet on excerpts from the Night Shadow (aka La sonnambula). The overall goal of the Video Archives Program is to create an original "manuscript" of Balanchine ballets by preserving not only the steps but the nuances of the choreography as conceived and taught to the dancers by Balanchine himself.
