In Balanchine's Classroom at the Roxie Theater
SFDFF co-presents In Balanchine’s Classroom, screening September 17–23 at San Francisco’s Roxie Theater. The new documentary takes us back to the glory years of Balanchine’s New York City Ballet through the remembrances of his former dancers and their quest to fulfill the vision of a genius.
Filled with never before seen archival footage of Balanchine at work during rehearsals, classes, and in preparation for his most seminal works, along with interviews with many of his adored and adoring dancers and those who try to carry on his legacy today, this is Balanchine as you have never seen him, and a film for anyone who loves ballet and the creative process.
