Everything seems to be going faster and faster. It's really harder to create something that endures. The New York City Ballet has succeeded in doing that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that every year that the New York City Ballet is alive is worthy of celebration. Because otherwise the terrible thing is just that we take it for granted.
The life of a dancer is tragically short. What is remarkable about the New York City Ballet is that it makes us forget that. Because it keeps the ballet alive.
There's nothing like the force and challenge of a new ballet to galvanize everyone involved in bringing it to life.
In the world of classical ballet there are only a handful of story ballets, so getting a new one is cause for excitement.
Does the New York City Ballet affect other places? Yeah, it lets people know they should come to New York.
What is true of ballet is no less true of the other lively arts. Change is built into their natures. You watch a performance, and then... it's gone.
I didn't care how much work it would take, and I didn't see the time invested as a waste or like I was missing out on anything. Ballet became my ultimate passion.
City Ballet remains a great company in perpetual artistic crisis.
The New York City Ballet is always about the realm of possibilities, the realm of what the human body can do, what the human spirit can do. And it's about listening, it's about listening to remarkable music and how we respond to that.
I think that having a platform and having a voice to be seen by people beyond the classical ballet world has really been my power, I feel.
