Adrian Smith on the left, at the University of Nottingham at the time. Alan Gelfand at the right at University of Connecticut at the time. And when Gelfand, the minute he
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I was just always dancing and I started doing some Russian folk dance. I grew up in San Francisco and I performed with like a youth company and my parents just
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I mean I'd say it was at 13. I think it was sacrificing so much in the way of sort of traditional academic path and the socialization that you experience
Adrian Danchig-Waring: There's also so much adrenaline pumped like you're working like your whole day builds to this climax, this performance, so it's like you can't go home
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Yeah. Amanda Hankes: Adrian Danchig-Waring: But I think that the company class like taking ballet classes every morning is this really unique element of the ballet dancer's life 'cause everyday
Adrian Danchig-Waring: It's like you re-establish that fluency in the morning and then you speak it all day.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I guess it really depends on like what the role is --
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I don't believe that.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Also something interesting that Amanda touched on and that is like in a given performance, one of us might dance three separate roles in three separate ballets
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Yeah. Amanda Hankes: It's completely . You could have three different types of shoes that you're wearing which affects how you move and three different characters. I think
Adrian Danchig-Waring: There are ballet masters on staff who are each responsible for a given allotment of works. So you go into the studio and whoever's in charge of
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I mean I think one of the most exciting things about New York City Ballet is that there's this legacy of Balanchine and Robbins sharing this company,
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I mean it's interesting. Again it sort of illuminates this polarity that exists in that much what we do is repertory it's like learning existing information and
Adrian Danchig-Waring: It really depends on the role. I think for like corps de ballet things you often, it's about getting in line and making the line like the physical line
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I accept that, I accept what you're saying.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Yeah, so Dancers' Choice is this really interesting opportunity and challenge for us. It is traditionally, the model of it is this that our Ballet Master
Adrian Danchig-Waring: They're unwinding. So we got in touch with some friends who make film and kind of cultivated this and this is the outcome of it and the hope would be
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Yeah, the most active one today is that we shot a documentary that will screen the night of this performance.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: They're in 15 hours left of a 40 hour -- Amanda Hankes: We're hoping it comes through by Sunday.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: It must be DSL.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Great incentives for people.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: They're amazing.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Or hearing.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Highly immersive is what I would call it.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Yeah. So ultimately we came up with something that we really felt like tied into this narrative of exploring the importance of these muse relationships.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I also think because it's like by the dancers for the dancers there's a really palpable energy that surrounds it, that surrounds the rehearsal process now that
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Yeah -- Meghan Kent: you wanna talk about that?
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I cut the stencils -- Meghan Kent: Adrian Danchig-Waring: and Mark, our company's designer and I worked on the Dancers' Choice logo which is the Apollo image. We have Janie Taylor, who's a principal dancer
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I mean I think that's, in my mind they're mostly Balanchine works, Stravinsky Violin Concerto, Agon, Apollo --
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Episodes. These things just like, it's also hard for us to put them in their historical context but they still just feel so incredibly visionary. And I think
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Long, lean, exacting, voluminous, dynamic --
Adrian Danchig-Waring: It's true, I mean I think to bring ballet back towards the mainstream in any way is a boon to us.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Can I say something?
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I think it's really interesting what you're saying about attending the ballet and that much of it stems from the fact that you were brought up doing that.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I mean in terms of marketing we see the ticket sales as they stand right now are about twice what they were at this point for the previous Dancers'
Adrian Danchig-Waring: To a degree. I used to have a lot of anxiety about this and like
Adrian Danchig-Waring: Amanda Hankes: Yeah, it's a very anxiety inducing question it's something we all deal with, but because of the threat of injury it's not like you can, I mean you should plan
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I do think though that like whatever I know I personally do after dancing it will involve going back to school and sort of learning a new skill set
Adrian Danchig-Waring: No, thank you guys for your -- Amanda Hankes: Thank you.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: afternoon interest.
Adriana: Yes, so -- Kaveri Subrahmanyam: Have a seat.
Adriana: So -- Peggy Orenstein: You can't just stick to the format, right?
Adriana Manago: So I'm a graduate student at UCLA at the Children's Digital Media Center.
Adriana: it's not like, yeah, so when we're talking about Facebook and social networking sites it's not so much about promoting some kind of false identity, but maybe it's an
