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, Kay Mazzo and Peter Martins coach Sterling Hyltin, Amar Ramasar, Robert Fairchild and Bebecca Krohn from New York City Ballet on Balanchine's Violin Concerto, renamed in 1973 Stravinsky Violin Concerto. Also Charles Joseph interviews Kay Mazzo and Peter Martins. 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.
