In coordination with Emerging Pictures' electronic cinema, we are happy to participate in the World Premiere of this new documentary about the Joffrey Ballet, screened simultaneously with its debut at the 40th Annual Dance On Camera Festival at Lincoln Center. The film performance will be followed by an interactive panel discussion, live from New York, that includes principals of the Joffrey past and present. Narrated by Mandy Patinkin, the film
documents how Joffrey revolutionized American ballet by daringly combining modern dance with traditional ballet technique, and it features rare excerpts from many seminal Joffrey works, including Astarte, Trinity and Billboards. (US 2011) Director: Bob Hercules. 90 min. plus electronic panel discussion. (Not applicable for Rafael matinee price)
