Balanchine Foundation video archives

Description

This video from Balanchine Foundation Video Archives is devoted to examining selected passages of Balanchine's choreography in detail. In a studio setting, Violette Verdy and Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux coach Ashley Laracey and Chase Finlay from New York City Ballet on Balanchine's Sonatine. Also Marina Harss interviews Violette Verdy and Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux. 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.
