Ballet 422 Page #3

Synopsis: Ballet 422 is a record of the creative process of a young choreographer Justin Peck, just 26 years old, hired to create a new ballet for the winter season of the New York City Ballet in 2013. The New York City Ballet is considered one of the best companies in the world. Since 1990 he is led by Peter Martins, his Ballet Master in Chief. The documentary describes the intense backstage work that takes place during the process of creating and learning this new ballet: "Paz de la Jolla". It shows Peck working with his fellow dancers (Justin Peck is also a soloist at NYCB!), with musicians, lighting technicians, and costume designers in the composition of a new work, his third creation for the NYCB. It is the first time the New York City Ballet is exposed during the creation of a new a ballet.

almost slightly behind you

- so you can really, like...

- Can I try one more time?

- Yeah!

- That's great.

- That's it.

- Good.

Iris 619 at half, please.

670.

No. Oops. 651 at 50.

Come back to N1 once it's clear.

No, you're fine.

Just give me 370. Right.

And update cue 12.

Cue only.

And stand by, bridge,

to pick up the couple

down right...

or down left with cue ten.

You'll come up to half minus.

And then stand by, stage right,

to switch our dancers here...

or to switch our light walkers.

If, by chance,

sorry, before you start,

that I don't have their marks...

- Hold please, Katie.

- Yup.

If I don't have their marks slightly

right, can that be adjusted?

Like, I'm worried that they're

gonna end up a little...

- Oh, absolutely.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- That's not hard to fix.

- Easy fix.

- All right.

Cool. All right.

Bridge, stand by

to pick up the couple

with cue ten, half minus,

and stand by, Penny, to switch

the light walkers, please.

All right, so applause,

applause, applause.

Light cue ten, go.

So add some beginning applause.

Bridge, slowly

picking up the couple.

So 16, go.

And they're now moving.

And the whole stage gets

a little brighter

and fuller at that point.

Light cue 14, go.

Another thing I was wondering...

I don't know if this

would be a bother,

but because

it's so high-waisted...

Can, in the pattern of...

Is this just a half circle?

They're side seams.

Okay, so this is...

This is three pieces?

It's one, two, and three?

- Yes.

- Okay.

Can the sides be, like,

shaped a little bit

to give less fullness in the...

- At the top?

- At the top?

And more flare?

Absolutely. Of course.

Yeah, because that way,

we'll lose...

When she twirls,

it won't get so far away

from her body here,

but it will here.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Yeah,

so it will just be slightly

more angled and slightly shaped.

Right, not just

a straight line from the... right.

Okay.

- And she'll have...

- Does it feel comfortable?

- It feels great.

- Good.

She'll have...

I mean, this really does

feel secure.

Little trunks to match?

- Okay.

- Yeah.

What happened

with the rolling down?

Yeah, with the straight here,

front, roll down.

Oh. Sorry.

And then can you take her more off?

Off, back, off.

For this dvelopp, down.

And then when you switch,

for that pas de chat,

can you straighten the left leg

so it goes

up, switch,

and then you hold pass?

Okay.

But bend the left leg

and then switch.

Bring the arms in

and then around that way.

Let me see.

No.

Here, bring them down,

through,

and then around that way.

No.

Here, bring them down...

- Oh.

- Up, through, and around.

No.

Here, bring the arms in.

Now open the elbows and up.

Okay.

- I'll get it.

- Close.

Here. Elbows open. There.

That's it.

Try it one more time.

Show the... You need

to isolate the elbows

coming out and around.

No.

From here...

Turn the shoulders sooner.

Let's try it again.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Go, one.

Mm-hmm.

No, it's not bad, actually.

Woman 1:

They're gonna tack these down.

Woman 2:
I want these to be in,

like, my spring wardrobe.

Woman 1:
Yeah.

It's so cute.

I would wear that.

Mine feels...

Mine's doing a little...

It's expected. Yeah.

Are people

still getting changed?

No. This is it.

Okay.

Can we come out onstage?

Girl, you got

nothing to worry about.

Yeah, if it comes out,

it's cute.

Sh*t.

I love it.

Andy, if you could cue...

Wait till the lights

completely change...

- Andy Okay.

- ...before you cue the music.

Uh... One more time.

I think it's too dark.

Mm-hmm.

Can we make a note to tell Mark?

I, like, can't even see Amar.

I know. Totally.

I just noticed that.

Oh, my God.

I can't see a thing.

- And you fixed...

- Kind of.

- Kind of.

- Yes.

Well...

- The toss was good.

- It's okay.

It's just... yeah.

We're just crossed.

We need to just...

- I think what we're gonna do...

- If this is okay with you...

For just the second one,

if it's okay with you,

for here,

I'm not gonna use this arm.

Is that okay,

that he doesn't take this arm?

- Yeah, that's fine.

- Because I think what's happening is

I'm getting really twisted.

Oh, and that's why you fall.

All right, well, let's try that

tomorrow. And I'll look at it.

- See if you like it.

- And tell us what you think.

Harriet and Marc?

So you want to see his body more?

I also feel like,

when I see him from far away,

I think,

also because of his body

and how he looks, that, like,

it all feels very high, like...

I don't know, maybe

around the neck or something.

Just feels like...

A little too, like, up...

- Too, like, up here.

- Up here?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Because I have

less down here, probably.

- Do we open up the neckline?

- Maybe that opens just a touch.

Do you think

we can go in on the...

- We could do that too.

- Yeah.

For his arms

so he doesn't look so...

- Did you fold that in?

- Yeah, you folded that in.

And then do we

open this up more?

- And maybe take a little bit.

- I think that would be nice.

Because then you could see his

neck and his chest a little bit.

Neck and your arms.

Yeah, because

then we could do this, too.

We can just get this

a little more...

Yeah.

Yeah, that already

looks better to me.

Okay.

I'm not as part of the

dance world as you guys are.

Yeah.

I was like, "Wow. The legs."

- Like, you know.

- Too short?

Yeah, but Marc was also saying, like,

"Oh, they've worn less."

No, that's...

That is, like...

It's better to see more leg

just from a dance point of view.

Right.

Like, the lines will be much better.

- Okay.

- And plus, they all have great legs.

- I think it's... It'll be fine.

- Okay. Okay, good.

- Yeah, so...

- Okay. All right.

I think... Yeah, I think

I'm really happy with them.

- Should I take it off and see...

- No, no, no.

Let's get all this done first,

and then we'll figure out the top.

So let's get you zipped.

But I thought maybe

I stepped into it wrong.

How's that possible?

Because there was

a lot of things going on.

Is Marc Happel here?

Okay.

Why is it not staying?

Oh, there's a hook.

Okay, you ready? I'm gonna hook you.

Take a deep breath.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Okay. Then this goes down.

This goes here.

Let's get hooked.

I'm gonna hook before I snap.

Okay. Then...

There was a hook.

- There is a hook up here.

- But...

I'm gonna hook it right now.

Are you ready?

- Yeah.

- You're in.

- Yeah. I am?

- We nailed it.

It looks right?

And Joe turned the wrong way.

Okay.

Tiler's solo at the end

of the first movement.

I felt like the backdrop

and her costume were identical.

So I want to play

a little more with that.

The tricky part is,

if you separate them,

it feels like the end

of the movement goes down,

because it gets darker,

you know,

by making a richer back...

So I've fussed with it

a little bit,

and we'll do some more

on Tuesday and Wednesday.

But the second movement,
