WHO CARES? {CANADIAN FRENCH} (TV)
Summary
This program presents the New York City Ballet's
performance of Balanchine's "Who Cares?," a piece
choreographed to sixteen songs composed by George
Gershwin and orchestrated by Hershey Kay. Before the
performance, the program presents a short film about
the nomadic lifestyle lived by Balanchine and his New
York City Ballet dancers. The piece includes a peek
inside Balanchine's New York City apartment;
behind-the-scenes footage of the dancers traveling and
relaxing; and the company's hidden "treasure," the
costumer Karinska, filmed in her workshop among her
troop of workers and the company's warehouse-sized
wardrobe. After the film, the program presents Patricia
McBride, Marnee Morris, Karin von Aroldingen, and
Jean-Pierre Bonnefous in Balanchine's "Who Cares?"
(This program is in Canadian French.)
