In Balanchine's Classroom
IN BALANCHINE’S CLASSROOM A film by Connie Hochman Theatrical & Festival Booking contacts: Nancy Gerstman & Emily Russo, Zeitgeist Films 212-274-1989 • [email protected] • [email protected] Press contact: Sasha Berman • [email protected] A ZEITGEIST FILMS RELEASE in association with KINO LORBER IN BALANCHINE’S CLASSROOM SYNOPSIS IN BALANCHINE’S CLASSROOM takes us back to the glory years of Balanchine’s New York City Ballet through the remembrances of his former dancers and their quest to fulfill the vision of a genius. Opening the door to his studio, Balanchine’s private laboratory, they reveal new facets of the groundbreaking choreographer: taskmaster, mad scientist, and spiritual teacher. Today, as his former dancers teach a new generation, questions arise: what was the secret of his teaching? Can it be replicated? Filled with never before seen archival footage of Balanchine at work, along with interviews with many of his adored and adoring dancers and those carrying on his legacy today, this is Balanchine as you have never seen him. This film will thrill anyone interested in the intensity of the master-disciple relationship and all who love dance, music, and the creative process. ABOUT GEORGE BALANCHINE [partially excerpted from The George Balanchine Foundation website] Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, George Balanchine (1904-1983) is regarded as the foremost contemporary choreographer in the world of ballet. He came to the United States in 1933 at age 29, at the invitation of the young American arts patron Lincoln Kirstein (1907-96), whose great passions included the dream of creating a ballet company in America.

PREMIERE HIGHLIGHTS BALLET NEBRASKA'S SEASON WRAP-UP OMAHA -- Ballet Nebraska will wrap up its sixth season April 1 and 3 with a program highlighted by the premiere of a new frontier-themed ballet, Go West! "I can guarantee there will be cowboys, tumbleweeds, and yodels in store," said Erika Overturff, Ballet Nebraska's founder and artistic director. "And since Momentum is our mixed-repertory program, we'll also offer a lively mix of other works that show off the range of what ballet can do." Overturff said she choreographed Go West! as part of the ballet company's ongoing collaboration with Joslyn Art Museum, in celebration of its current special exhibition: Go West! Art of the American Frontier from the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. Overturff said that what had struck her most strongly about the Joslyn exhibition was its sense of the West as a land of freedom and possibility. "I was inspired by the excitement and energy of the westward expansion. I was also moved by the struggle and hardship that many faced. You can imagine yourself in the West as a daring explorer, a brave pioneer, or a heroic cowhand. The works in the exhibition, and the popular songs I used in my ballet, appealed to that freedom of imagination. And since we’re dealing with imagination, that also gave us the freedom to have some fun!” Also on the program, Overturff said, will be: the famous Black Swan pas de deux from Swan Lake; Finch Concerto, a recent work by Ballet Vero Beach artistic director Adam Schnell; You've Gotta Be Kidding Me!, by St.

It’s challenging but rewarding to dance, and absolutely charming to watch.” Ballet Nebraska is presenting the work in conjunction with Joslyn Art Museum in celebration of its European collection, she said.
