Description
Mikhail Baryshnikov and members of White Oak Dance Project rehearse "Behind White Lilies" with choreographer Joachim Schlömer. Schlömer appears to introduce the piece before the first full rehearsal, then directs the dancers off-camera during another day's rehearsal of a specific section. There are a few moments of levity: dancers shaking one another and dancing exaggeratedly as someone fast-forwards their rehearsal music, etc.
