About:
A behind-the-scenes look at the creation of an innovative dance showcase.
Last summer, two dozen dancers from around the world, reflecting diverse styles – ballet, hip hop, and tap – joined together for BalletNOW, a series of performances at the Los Angeles Music Center to demonstrate the range of modern ballet. Its visionary curator: Tiler Peck, principal performer of the New York City Ballet. Director Steven Cantor follows Peck as the first woman to take on this daunting but fulfilling role, recruiting dancers and working with choreographers to create a cohesive program – one that she not only organizes but in which she also performs.
