American Masters: American Ballet Theatre,
a feature-length documentary directed by award-winning filmmaker Ric
Burns, celebrates ABT’s legacy through rehearsal footage, performances
and interviews with key figures from the Company’s rich history. Beginning
production in 2006, Burns was given unprecedented access to the Company
and shot hundreds of hours of original footage, including live
performances in Paris and Havana, studio rehearsals in New York City and
slow-motion captures at Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli,
New York. The film also includes hundreds of carefully curated still
photographs and rare archival footage of ballet icons, providing a comprehensive look at American Ballet Theatre and the world of professional ballet.
American Masters: American Ballet Theatre will have its national broadcast premiere on Friday, May 15 at 9:00 P.M. on PBS (check local listings).
