dirac Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 A new documentary, "In Balanchine's Classroom," has crossed the finish line. Looking forward to this. Related. Quote In 2007, Connie [Hochman] began a series of interviews with former Balanchine dancers - ninety in all – to explore the phenomenon of Balanchine’s classroom. Why did he teach and not just choreograph? What did he teach? How did he teach? How did his daily class relate to his choreography? Their remembrances of his unorthodox methods and transformative teaching form the basis of IN BALANCHINE'S CLASSROOM. Link to post
pherank Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Yes, this film may be really interesting. There's no word yet on exactly how this film will be presented to the public...

dirac Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 Yes, I posted that piece in the Links. It may just go straight to PBS and video. The film is associated with "Women Make Movies," which is currently being featured on Turner Classic Movies, so who knows, we may see it there. Link to post

Turner generally doesn't repeat a presentation for a while, but PBS might offer multiple viewings. It would be better for the audience for this documentary to go to a streaming service (as was the case with "On Pointe") that allows repeated viewings. Link to post
dirac Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 You can tape a broadcast. Not so with streaming, although of course you can "buy" it. Link to post
nanushka Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 "Tape" a "broadcast"? Nope — I can't, at least! I vote for streaming (pretending I have a vote). Link to post
dirac Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 That's too bad. Can't help you there, I'm afraid. It isn't an either-or choice, fortunately. Link to post
