New York City Ballet's Damian Woetzel on State of the Art and West Side Story

Watch the following video to see New York City Ballet's Damian Woetzel discuss the state of ballet and art in America. This presentation was conducted at The Aspen Institute this past summer.

During his talk, Damian Woetzel promises he'll teach audience members how to be Jets - go to 43:30 minute mark on above video to see his discussion about West Side Story. Here's clip from West Side Story.

While on the topic of Jerome Robbins, take a look at website for "Jerome Robbins' NY Export: Opus Jazz the Film." This is new film that offers reinterpretation of Robbins' 1958 "NY Export: Opus Jazz." [via Swan Lake Samba Girl].

I enjoyed watching the Opus Jazz documentary and teaser videos.
