The Company Page #2

Synopsis: An inside look at the world of ballet. With the complete cooperation of the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago, Altman follows the stories of the dancers, whose professional and personal lives grow impossibly close, as they cope with the demands of a life in the ballet. Campbell plays a gifted but conflicted company member on the verge of becoming a principal dancer at a fictional Chicago troupe, with McDowell the company's co-founder and artistic director, considered one of America's most exciting choreographers. Franco plays Campbell's boyfriend and one of the few characters not involved in the world of dance.

Company, just move all this crap!

You're going to trip over it.

Don't leave your stuff

by the side of the stage.

Mark, you know we can't start

with all this clutter.

I know. We told them right

before this rehearsal...

Well you know...

If somebody falls over...

Ok, Cammie we're ready.

Everyone, places please.

Michael, when you're ready.

Two men, you're ready?

Here we go.

Sharp jump...

Good, you guys.

Ell him to stretch his foot. - All the way in the wings. Go

Stretch the knees.

Exit all the way.

Good.

Right on the music.

Good, Suzanne.

- Suzanne's gotten very strong.

- Excellent.

Good, Calvin.

He's come along

beautifully.

We have to work on that

double knee saut de basque.

Tell Noel to burst from

the wings on her saut.

Good ladies!

Hold it a minute.

Hold it a minute.

What happened? I mean,

you're all so pretty.

You know how

I hate pretty!

Now come on. Lift, thighs.

Lift up, not so loady.

And when you make those exits

hit the wall.

You're not doing that. You look

like you've got a load in your pants.

But I love you all. You're great.

Come on.

- Oh my God, a storm.

- I think it's just the wind.

Have a good time.

Most importantly enjoy it. Ok?

Merde.

And main curtain...

Go!

Follow spot one on the girl.

Nice and easy, follow spot.

Sound.

Can you watch this

leg for me?

Careful. Keep that from

flopping down.

Char, you better go back and

see what's happening.

If there's any water on the stage

cancel the performance right now.

Hurry up.

What did they say?

The floor is dry.

Michael's got it under control.

- It's a little chilly.

- Good. She's doing brilliantly.

- That was so good.

- Thank you.

That was so good,

Domingo.

Are you coming back?

Domingo.

The hero of the moment.

What a courageous performance.

Scenery by Mother Nature.

I don't believe you.

- I'm Ryan's mother, Marilyn.

- You should be so proud.

Thank you for that beautiful

ballet. My daughter was the dancer.

- Lar.

- Alberto!

You were magnificent.

Did you organize that storm?

Domingo.

Fantastic.

Hi, Dad.

How you doing?

- You were beautiful.

- Thank you.

Hi, mom.

I want to invite you to come and

do a piece next season.

- I have to speak to Mr. A.

- Now where is she?

Oh baby. Give me a hug.

I'm watching you saying,

Who is that up there?

I've always believed in you even

when others weren't so sure.

- But always.

- But tonight...

You went to another dimension.

And the storm, the storm!

- Wasn't that crazy?

- It was so theatrical.

- Was it slippery?

- A little slippery.

- You would never have known.

- You had such poise.

- Is this your sister?

- No, this is my mother.

- I can't believe this.
