Ballet 422 Page #2

Synopsis: Ballet 422 is a record of the creative process of a young choreographer Justin Peck, just 26 years old, hired to create a new ballet for the winter season of the New York City Ballet in 2013. The New York City Ballet is considered one of the best companies in the world. Since 1990 he is led by Peter Martins, his Ballet Master in Chief. The documentary describes the intense backstage work that takes place during the process of creating and learning this new ballet: "Paz de la Jolla". It shows Peck working with his fellow dancers (Justin Peck is also a soloist at NYCB!), with musicians, lighting technicians, and costume designers in the composition of a new work, his third creation for the NYCB. It is the first time the New York City Ballet is exposed during the creation of a new a ballet.

and it's not like,

an obvious thing," so...

It's how far

do we push those moments

of narrative into a story

with the light?

- I see what you mean.

- And that's one of the things...

And we don't have

to answer that right now.

It's just things

for us to think and talk about.

Yeah.

Where are the... Actually,

where are we with the pas de trois?

Okay.

That's fine.

I want to place you guys,

but I'm not sure where yet.

Yeah.

Yeah.

- I like lower than...

- We've noticed.

Just because I feel like

I don't have, like,

such a long neck,

so the more things come up,

I feel like it...

- Short, like, makes you...

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Then how do you feel about, like,

where things are cut here

on you?

- Doesn't matter?

- Whatever. Yeah.

Like, old-fashioned

bathing suit cut

is something

that we're talking about.

- Oh.

- Romper.

I love rompers.

I wear them all the time.

Daily.

Um...

What other things

were we thinking about for her?

Just as long as my legs

don't look short.

No, no, no.

We'll give you a high waist

or something.

- Yes.

- We'll make you look so long.

Um...

And then as far as...

How do you feel about...

I don't know if this matters;

I'm not a dancer, but...

dancing with something

that's kind of loose?

- A sash.

- A sash.

So it'll move around.

We can always try it,

and if it doesn't...

I don't have

anything against it.

- Okay.

- You know, if it... Maybe the boys

will say something

with partnering.

- Right.

- But for me, I'm...

- You're okay.

- I'm okay with it.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

- Justin, I just have one question.

- Yeah.

You know, when we bourre back

for the girls,

we're bourreing back...

they don't know

if they should finish here...

Because, you see,

some finish here,

as the original step you gave,

and some

are already going parallel,

so should we just...

Oh.

No, they should finish it out.

Girls, right? Okay?

Because some people

are going parallel already

because you see the boys

coming there without finishing.

Just finish it out.

Don't let the boys

make you nervous.

- Totally.

- Okay.

As far as the pointe shoes go,

would you want them to, like,

pancake nude,

or do you want to keep, like,

City Ballet...

- Well, it's up to you.

- Freed pink?

- What do you want?

- We didn't...

We could talk to the girls

and see what they want too.

They can... I mean,

they'll do whatever...

I mean, whatever we want.

I mean, there's all sorts of ballets

where they have to alter

the shoe color,

so it's not an issue.

Great.

And we really, initially,

wanted texture in knits,

but we realized that dancers

probably don't want to wear,

like, hot cashmere.
