Description
With just days to go before the world premiere of his newest work for the Company, Resident Choreographer Justin Peck joins host and Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan for the latest episode of New Combinations. Beginning with his early years as a tap dancer and his invitation to enroll at the School of American Ballet by lasting mentor Peter Boal, Peck discusses his unique—and uniquely American—approach to choreography. Between reflecting on his work as the choreographer for the Stephen Spielberg-helmed West Side Story and collaborating with director Sofia Coppola on NYCB’s Spring Gala film, Peck shares what he values most about the Company and the cross-pollination inherent to the art of ballet.
