Description
Dancers associated with Agnes de Mille at American Ballet Theatre and elsewhere discuss the experience of working with her as a choreographer. Much of the discussion centers on the ways in which she helped performers create characters onstage with truth and simplicity of means. They emphasize her strong interest in humanity and the full range of human emotions, dark or light. Anecdotes illustrate her sense of humor, her insistence on focus and concentration at work, her high standards, and her affection and concern for her dancers. Works discussed include the ballets Rodeo, The informer, Three virgins and a devil, Fall River legend, and Texas fourth, and the musical Oklahoma! A question-and-answer period concludes the discussion.
