Adrian Danchig-Waring: I was just always dancing and I started doing some Russian folk dance.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: I mean I'd say it was at 13.
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.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: There are ballet masters on staff who are each responsible for a given allotment of works.
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.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: It really depends on the role.
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.
Adrian Danchig-Waring: They're unwinding.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Adriana Manago: Um-hum. Peggy Orenstein: externally as opposed to creating it internally and shaping it based on the response of their 622 BFF's --
Adriana Manago: Um-hum. Peggy Orenstein: and hitting the like button or whatever. That's a really new, I mean kids have always cared about what others thought and whether they're wearing the right clothes
