Little Dancer (2) Direction and Choreography


I love the whole thing about art: the work itself, the creativity and creative process to it, and the story that inspired it.  Sometimes the inspiration is another art work.  So it is with Little Dancer, a new musical ballet, performing at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC through end of November.

Enter, Director and Choreographer Susan Stroman, speaking a bit to the inspiration behind her show and such principals as NYC Ballet dancer Tiler Peck as the Young Marie:


Stroman is the master of ceremonies at the first day of rehearsals, when the gathering of everyone involved in the production make for a truly festive, inspiring event in and of itself:


Peck acknowledges how different art genres converge in Little Dancer: painting, classic ballet, and musical theater.  This convergence is the essence of Dr. Ron Art.
