| Summary |
Allegra Kent and Todd Bolender discuss George Balanchine's Unanswered Question; how Kent loved the fall back; the music being jarring and startling; how the piece created anxiety in the audience; Stanley Kubrick attended the first performance; the scariest moment for Kent was the opening because of the lights creating an unstable feeling; the anticipation of the first rehearsal and not knowing what it was going to be; promenade variations used in Balanchine's works; the original costumes for this work had Bolender in cut-off tights and Kent in a white leotard; Kent started dancing late at the age of eleven and decided to become a ballet dancer because of Balanchine's La Sonnambula ; Bolendar started dancing with Ballet Caravan and then briefly Ballet Russe, and after the war, Ballet Society; Balanchine changing some of the movements for television; and the difference between Balanchine and Jerome Robbins |
