Behind the Scenes Look at NYC Ballet's Upcoming Romeo + Juliet
In a post yesterday, Kristin Sloan of The Winger and New York City Ballet announced the launch of a behind-the-scenes video diary of the upcoming Romeo + Juliet - world premiere on May 1st.
On the Romeo + Juliet site, you can watch the first episode of this weekly series where Kristin introduces the program.
I think we are at the early stages of an important trend as more ballet and modern dance companies introduce innovative video applications for the Internet. Recently I wrote about "Anaheim Ballet's new video podcast series," and Chris Elam of Misnomer Dance Theater wrote about his company's use of videos via social networking and video sharing sites.

Jeff, just want to thank you for posting "Behind the Scenes Look at NYC Ballet's Upcoming Romeo + Juliet".
As someone with no dance background, I find Kirsten's weekly installments quite edifying. The weeklies provide backstage glimpses of what it takes to mount a full-scale ballet. Now I now why those front-and-center orchestra seat prices are stratospheric!
Hoping to see more such documentary-type postings....I also enjoyed the one on Twyla Tharp.
