Ballet 422 Page #4

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.

It would. Yeah.

I mean, we basically know what

we need to do to make it do that.

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay.

We can't really do it right now,

but it's a pretty easy alteration.

I trust that the fit

will resolve itself.

But yeah.

I like it very much.

Are we worried about this fabric

getting super pilly?

Well...

I mean, I like

that it has texture.

Right.

Um...

It may. Yes.

But then that's what we also

have a wardrobe department for.

Wow. That's amazing.

Stop!

We need to do that again.

Just, we're forgetting stuff,

and I think... Joe's new.

And, Apple, you still got late.

- Sorry, Albert.

- It's okay.

Make the first lifts

more efficient, okay?

The first, like, when she's just

in sixth or fifth or whatever,

okay?

Like, really contained, okay?

You have to lift her up

and lift her down.

- Yeah.

- Not just lift her up.

Yeah, don't just drop her, okay?

Pick her up,

and put her down in a new spot.

Okay.

One more time.

That's better.

Good.

The bump can be

a little more dramatic.

It's starting to lose its intensity.

It's like they know

it's coming now, you know?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

- Joe has to do tree-frog fingers...

- Okay.

Before the boys' dance starts.

Ster, in that pirouette,

it's a pancake moment.

Yeah, Sterling and Amar,

there's just always this weird...

- Like, a pancake moment.

- After you do here...

I don't know what that is.

It takes a moment to get

out of it, for some reason.

Because you're

on one... on both legs?

It shouldn't be, though.

It's very simple.

Well, pointe shoes are different.

So wait, is it because

I'm giving her too much force?

- Is that what the problem is?

- Maybe. I think maybe a little less.

- Because I'm doing this.

- Yeah.

Maybe that's what it is.

Why don't you soutenu

and come down after?

Whichever...

whatever you want.

What do you mean?

Do you want... you want

to come down before?

Is that better?

Let's do a normal soutenu.

That was good.

- Yeah.

- That was nice.

- Sometimes if I get too much...

- Yeah, it can...

I mean, I don't need very much.

I know, you remember,

you told me to do that, but...

I think I just need some

to get going.

- Because I can do the rest.

- Cool. Absolutely.

Just because

I'm in such a dead moment.

- I'll, I'll... yup.

- Okay.

And, Joe, when you go

to the floor for the...

Can I see it?

I'm doing that.

More spread.

Okay, you need to work

on your finger flexibility.

No, it's fine.

Wait, do you want them,

like, domed?

- Is that what you're...

- Maybe domed.

No, don't dome them.

It should be like...

- Okay.

- Oh. I see.

Maybe like that, yeah.

So they're splayed

a little more.

- Okay.

- Yeah. That's good.
