The New York City Ballet "is proud to present this world premiere ballet – created together but apart – featuring choreography and performances from Tiler Peck, Troy Schumacher, Lauren Lovette, Ashley Bouder, and Peter Walker, set to Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B-Flat Major. A Part of Together was created for Lincoln Center’s #ConnectingForCulture, an initiative to unite our community, reinforce the role the arts play in everyone's lives, and galvanize support as we navigate the continued challenges ahead."
Go here and scroll down to find the video titled A Part of Together. (If there is a way to link directly, I haven't figured it out.)
I could never be described as a balletomane, but this brief (six minute) performance is something I think most people will enjoy.
David, wow, that was pretty cool! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat was worth the trip. I didn't think the opener --in which the dancer (Tiler Peck) submerged her legs and kept dancing -- could be topped, but the ending, as any choreographer knows, had to be boffo and it was. (I am still trying to figure out how the camera person managed to do it without being noticed.) It was interesting, too, how bucolic a New York dance company could get.
ReplyDeleteThat was nice. I might like dancing more if they were outside and seemed to be having fun like these dancers.
ReplyDeleteI also like this clip of Gregory Hines (r.i.p.) dancing with Baryshnikov. https://m.youtube.com/watchv=0qdgvhy5itm
Thanks David. It’s a wonderful video. It’s painful to think that the dancers are being kept from doing what they do best. A performance of a cheerful Balanchine ballet (with Ashley Bouder, one of the dancers in the “A Part” dance) will be posted online tomorrow (Tuesday) at 8 PM.
ReplyDeleteDavid, many thanks - I loved it! It was, in every sense of the word, Spring-y. When I saw the pool, I thought, "She wouldn't ...?" - but she did.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that principal dancers can afford that kind of real estate - that would mean that least some are doing well.
Just the thing! Thank you, David....Have dispersed to the near and far who all need a little leaping and jumping.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. It symbolizes that physical freedom to which we yearn to return. When it is truly safe.
