Little Dancer (5) Art Inspiring Artist


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.


NYC Ballet Dancer Tiler Peck and the creative team of Little Dancer recreate the famous Edgar Degas sculpture.  They pull it off so wonderfully as to wonder, for a moment, if Peck were indeed that little dancer, whom Degas had befriended.  She herself is a very beautiful 25 year old, and from production clips we see, clearly a talent with both dancing and acting skills.
