*
6
00:00:22,123 --> 00:00:25,326
I think Americans love
Nutcracker because
7
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:27,495
it's a timeless story.
8
00:00:27,528 --> 00:00:30,098
It's a story about generations,
9
00:00:30,131 --> 00:00:32,733
about families and children
coming together.
10
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:36,337
It's a story about a young
girl's dream
11
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:39,507
of growing up.
Ah, about finding love and
12
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:41,842
But it's not just a confection,
13
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:43,711
there is, you know,
Tchaikovsky's music.
14
00:00:43,744 --> 00:00:46,414
And there is that
sadness to it.
15
00:00:46,447 --> 00:00:50,518
The children love to
progress through the roles
16
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:53,354
and to look forward to
what they're going to be
17
00:00:53,387 --> 00:00:56,257
next year
and the year after.
18
00:00:56,290 --> 00:00:57,558
You know you see
the whole continuum,
19
00:00:57,591 --> 00:01:00,728
the life of, the creation of,
a dancer.
20
00:01:07,568 --> 00:01:14,074
Bow. 1 and 2 and 3... 4,
21
00:01:15,343 --> 00:01:19,147
No. You're wrong.
One more time.
22
00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:22,716
Guys, why you...
you heard it.
23
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:24,285
One more time, come on.
24
00:02:36,857 --> 00:02:41,395
Marat was star of the Kirov
for almost 20 years.
25
00:02:41,429 --> 00:02:45,199
It was really a golden period
for Russian Ballet.
26
00:02:45,233 --> 00:02:47,868
He was invited to come
and guest teach in Los Angeles
27
00:02:47,901 --> 00:02:51,839
and I was a student in his
class. That's when we met.
28
00:02:53,607 --> 00:02:56,210
The first time I went out
with Marat,
29
00:02:56,244 --> 00:02:59,847
a Russian man came and sat
beside me. And he said to me,
30
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,917
You must take care of Marat
he is Russian national treasure.
31
00:03:04,485 --> 00:03:08,389
In 1996 we did start as The
Marat Daukayev School of Ballet
32
00:03:08,422 --> 00:03:10,391
We started with two students.
33
00:03:10,424 --> 00:03:14,262
I think I call myself Managing
Director, and in my mind,
34
00:03:14,295 --> 00:03:19,267
I always say BARELY
Managing Director (laughs)
35
00:03:20,634 --> 00:03:24,605
Before audition there
is a great sense of
nervous anticipation.
36
00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:27,641
On everyone's part, I mean
I even feel it.
37
00:03:27,675 --> 00:03:30,311
So, I can only imagine
what the children are feeling.
38
00:03:30,344 --> 00:03:32,446
Especially if they're hoping
that this will be the year
39
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,748
they're selected
for an important role.
40
00:03:35,483 --> 00:03:38,819
But there's also the fling
that it's a big party
41
00:03:38,852 --> 00:03:42,756
that's just beginning and
everyone is looking forward to
42
00:03:42,790 --> 00:03:44,992
the beginning of Nutcracker.
43
00:03:47,961 --> 00:03:50,964
We audition and we see what
the raw material is.
44
00:03:50,998 --> 00:03:54,768
It's sort of like making a
painting and you know that
it's got to fit on this canvas.
45
00:03:54,802 --> 00:03:57,271
And you know you've got
these colors.
46
00:03:57,305 --> 00:04:01,942
We see the level at which all
the kids are functioning
in the school.
47
00:04:01,975 --> 00:04:05,979
Does this person have the
mastery, to be able to...
to do the role?
48
00:04:06,013 --> 00:04:09,049
Because Marat really doesn't
like to reduce
the choreography
49
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:11,018
for the dancer.
The dancer has to rise up.
50
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:33,974
You know, this is our dilema
because we are a school
that's almost a company
51
00:04:34,007 --> 00:04:38,979
and Marat's life has been
in a very great company .
52
00:04:39,012 --> 00:04:43,817
He's absolutely true to that
standard of excellence.
53
00:04:43,851 --> 00:04:46,520
And the kids know that,
they know it.
54
00:04:46,554 --> 00:04:48,856
And that's why they're inspired
by him, that why they work
55
00:04:48,889 --> 00:04:52,693
so hard for him because they
absorb that themselves.
56
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:10,411
It's the slow accumulation
of body knowledge
57
00:05:10,444 --> 00:05:12,045
over a long period of time.
58
00:05:39,607 --> 00:05:41,909
(director) The casting list
just came out right this week
59
00:05:41,942 --> 00:05:43,477
(director) Was that a really
hard decision?
60
00:05:59,827 --> 00:06:03,397
That's just one of the worst
things about Nutcracker,
61
00:06:03,431 --> 00:06:06,667
is having to make that call
and having to dissappoint...
62
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:08,536
you know, a child...
a family.
63
00:06:09,503 --> 00:06:12,005
We hate it. We dread it.
64
00:06:12,039 --> 00:06:15,643
(director) Why do you choose
to email roles?
65
00:06:15,676 --> 00:06:18,846
This is a school,
it's not a company.
66
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:23,116
Posting the cast list on the
board, where you have to
67
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:27,521
hold in your tears
and pretend that you're okay
68
00:06:27,555 --> 00:06:31,158
in front of your friends
when you really want to go
and cry in your bed
69
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:34,995
We don't need to do that.
Just to have the privacy
70
00:06:35,028 --> 00:06:37,965
to have your feelings
or your moment of joy,
71
00:06:37,998 --> 00:06:40,968
that you got it! And that
you can jump around
and shout
72
00:06:41,001 --> 00:06:45,806
and do whatever you want
and rejoice and not have to be
73
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,511
cognizant of the fact that you
got it and your friend didn't.
74
00:06:50,544 --> 00:06:54,147
There's sort of the
assumption that, oh, you
want to be a soloist,
75
00:06:54,181 --> 00:06:56,817
But to be in the corps
is a very big deal.
76
00:06:56,850 --> 00:07:01,655
You're lucky to be in the corps
It's a great experience
and it's an honor.
77
00:07:01,689 --> 00:07:04,792
The corps means "body"
it's the body of the ballet.
78
00:07:04,825 --> 00:07:08,061
Because, when you are looking
at a group of dancers,
79
00:07:08,095 --> 00:07:12,733
Your eye goes either to the best
one or to the worst one.
80
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:14,968
They have to breathe
with one breath.
81
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:24,044
Every student has their
individual path
82
00:07:24,077 --> 00:07:29,883
So impossible to say
where it's going to take them.
83
00:07:34,154 --> 00:07:39,660
Elizabeth always had that star
quality. When she was a
84
00:07:39,693 --> 00:07:43,063
little girl, she would come to
the audition and walk across
85
00:07:43,096 --> 00:07:45,198
make a little curtsy
for the director.
86
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:49,637
I get up last, she wakes me up,.
87
00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:53,574
Usually I'll just eat at school
I go to Beverly Hills
High School.
88
00:07:53,607 --> 00:07:56,977
I take a full day, I also
take P.E., very tiring.
89
00:07:57,010 --> 00:08:00,781
I walk to my mom's office,
just like... rest in her car
90
00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:03,283
and wait for her to get out
out of work and then
15 minutes before class,
91
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:07,755
get ready, stretch a little,
and then... ballet.
92
00:08:07,788 --> 00:08:09,823
Then homework, then sleep.
93
00:08:09,857 --> 00:08:11,058
(director) Do you have
a boyfriend?
94
00:08:11,091 --> 00:08:12,793
No.
95
00:08:14,227 --> 00:08:16,096
(director) So, what role
haven't you playedhat you would
enjoy dancing?
96
00:08:16,129 --> 00:08:20,834
Tarantella is a fun dance,
just so... brilliant.
97
00:08:20,868 --> 00:08:24,972
Well, of course
Sugar Plum, but that's like,
later in my life but....
98
00:08:45,192 --> 00:08:49,029
Matisse is just, you know,
she loves to dance.
99
00:08:49,062 --> 00:08:55,836
She has a great joy when she
dances and I think the audience
loves her, so much, for this.
100
00:08:55,869 --> 00:09:02,776
She has great expressive
quality and fine feeling and
a love of dance
101
00:09:02,810 --> 00:09:05,746
That really shines through her,
when she performs.
102
00:09:05,779 --> 00:09:08,081
I've been here since I was 7
and I'm 13 now.
103
00:09:08,649 --> 00:09:11,251
(director) So what do you you
hope to dohis year? What part?
104
00:09:11,284 --> 00:09:13,687
Sugar Plum.
(director)
Think you'll get it?
105
00:09:13,721 --> 00:09:15,889
I don't know... hopefully.
106
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:21,061
I got the e-mail, and then so,
I was reading the
107
00:09:21,094 --> 00:09:24,331
Sugar Plum list, and my
mom, she didn't want to
spoil it or ruin it,
108
00:09:24,364 --> 00:09:28,068
I got the e-mail and I was like.
ooooooh it was just crazy
109
00:09:28,101 --> 00:09:30,337
and I started screaming and I
left a voicemail and the whole
voicemail was like,
110
00:09:30,370 --> 00:09:31,905
(Screams)
111
00:09:31,939 --> 00:09:32,940
And then I hung up.
112
00:09:38,111 --> 00:09:42,916
I think it's everybody's dream.
I mean, I can't even believe it.
113
00:09:42,950 --> 00:09:48,622
I watched the first rehearsal
yesterday and of course
I was crying the whole time.
114
00:09:48,656 --> 00:09:53,093
And then, they did the death
drop. I was having a heart
attack and then crying.
115
00:09:53,126 --> 00:09:56,063
It was just so beautiful. It
was just incredible.
116
00:09:58,966 --> 00:10:04,071
It's gonna be something else.
It's an honor and she takes it
very seriously.
117
00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:12,946
Finish. Stay. And Jump!
118
00:10:15,783 --> 00:10:18,719
No, no, no, don't make kneel.
Stay, up.
119
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:26,026
Only demi pliƩ little bit. Yes,
like this. That's it, stop.
120
00:10:26,059 --> 00:10:28,228
Uhhhh, guys, thanks so much.
121
00:11:17,878 --> 00:11:20,413
Yeah, we built a relationship
with the girls, it's fun.
122
00:11:20,447 --> 00:11:22,816
It's fun.
123
00:11:23,016 --> 00:11:28,121
Mikhael is, uh, very hard on
himself. I meahe's so...
124
00:11:28,155 --> 00:11:33,126
handsome. And he's so...
beautiful. And his line,
125
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,798
If he would stop criticising
himself, it would help him
so much.
126
00:11:37,831 --> 00:11:40,801
We call him hungry boy because
he'll eat a great big bowl
127
00:11:40,834 --> 00:11:43,336
of pasta, like that, and say,
Is there any more?
128
00:11:43,370 --> 00:11:45,372
and then he'll have a second
one and then he'll have
129
00:11:45,405 --> 00:11:47,975
a salami sandwich and I'll come
down and then he's eating
130
00:11:48,008 --> 00:11:50,978
Cocoa Puffs! I'm like,
"Oh my god Mikhael!"
131
00:11:51,011 --> 00:11:52,846
Good thing you're
growing two inches a week,
132
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,282
Otherwise, you'd be busting
out of your tights.
133
00:11:55,315 --> 00:11:57,384
(laughs)
134
00:11:58,251 --> 00:12:00,320
(director) What do you hope
to play this year?
135
00:12:00,353 --> 00:12:03,190
Uh, Spanish.
(director) Do you know yet?
136
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:06,393
Uh, a little bit of it, but
...I don't know.
137
00:12:06,426 --> 00:12:07,360
(director)
Do you know that's
what you're playing?
138
00:12:07,394 --> 00:12:11,031
No, I don't know yet
I'm just hoping. Yeah.
139
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,002
(director)
So you don't have time
for much else.
140
00:12:15,202 --> 00:12:19,039
No. I get, I mean, I get
invited to lotof parties.
141
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:23,010
And it's like, I can't go,
I'm sorry. It really sucks.
142
00:12:23,043 --> 00:12:25,879
Sorry, gotta go.
143
00:12:25,913 --> 00:12:28,248
I mean you have a lot of
friends at the dance studio.
144
00:12:28,281 --> 00:12:29,182
A lot od friends.
145
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:32,052
See you' not that much taller.
146
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:35,923
Okay. (laughs) You see, it's
always a competition.
147
00:12:35,956 --> 00:12:38,091
(director)
It's like a big family.
148
00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:40,360
(director)
Been together for so long.
149
00:12:41,394 --> 00:12:43,396
Especially like all the boys,
too.
150
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:46,533
'Cuz before I was the only boy.
You know, but now you have
151
00:12:46,566 --> 00:12:50,370
someone to, like, share your
feelings with, and stuff.
152
00:12:56,910 --> 00:12:58,879
My mom's okay with it.
You know, she loves
153
00:12:58,912 --> 00:13:01,314
me dancing and stuff. But
my dad's a little...
154
00:13:02,315 --> 00:13:03,783
You know...
155
00:13:05,018 --> 00:13:07,855
Yup... He doesn't really
I mean,
156
00:13:07,888 --> 00:13:10,257
he doesn't really approve
as much as my mom does
157
00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:11,825
(director)
Has he seenyou dance?
158
00:13:11,859 --> 00:13:13,493
Yeah.
159
00:13:15,062 --> 00:13:17,430
I don't think that's gonna
change his mind though.
160
00:13:18,899 --> 00:13:20,167
Hopefully, it might, but...
161
00:13:21,869 --> 00:13:22,936
Mikhael is very concerned
162
00:13:22,970 --> 00:13:24,604
That his father
doesn't approve.
163
00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:28,041
And I think that he looks
to Marat
164
00:13:28,976 --> 00:13:31,011
For that acceptance
165
00:13:31,044 --> 00:13:33,080
That his father
doesn't give him.
166
00:13:33,113 --> 00:13:34,481
He really does
keep it separate
167
00:13:34,514 --> 00:13:37,584
There's the ballet school
and there's his friendship
168
00:13:37,617 --> 00:13:40,020
with Marat's son
Marat, Jr.
169
00:13:40,053 --> 00:13:42,155
And... when he invites him
into his home,
170
00:13:42,189 --> 00:13:44,591
there's no talk of ballet
it's all about family.
171
00:13:44,624 --> 00:13:49,129
So I thank God every night
that I have that whole family
172
00:13:49,162 --> 00:13:51,598
that has welcomed him in
because... it's tough.
173
00:13:51,631 --> 00:13:53,466
He's already worried about
what he's going to say,
174
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,969
That he wants to be a
professional ballet dancer.
175
00:13:56,003 --> 00:13:58,005
He does.
I just hope his father...
176
00:14:00,307 --> 00:14:01,574
Comes through.
177
00:14:10,483 --> 00:14:16,023
Edgar is such a talented boy
and he has such passion
for dance.
178
00:14:16,056 --> 00:14:18,658
Most other schools when
you're a ballet dancer
179
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:22,029
and as a guy,
they tease you... a lot.
180
00:14:22,062 --> 00:14:24,531
And this school is
actually an art school
181
00:14:24,564 --> 00:14:27,100
and everybody, like,
dances... sings.
182
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:38,345
I hated dance. I did not
want to do it, at first.
183
00:14:38,378 --> 00:14:42,049
My parents were dancers, so
I had to go sit and watch.
184
00:14:46,153 --> 00:14:49,222
My dad used to dance in
Armenia. So did my mom.
185
00:14:49,256 --> 00:14:51,925
My dad was a teacher and
my mom was a student.
186
00:14:51,959 --> 00:14:53,193
(giggles)
187
00:15:03,503 --> 00:15:06,406
Well, they wanted a better life
for me and my sister
188
00:15:06,439 --> 00:15:09,609
So they moved here and
I actually stayed there.
189
00:15:09,642 --> 00:15:11,444
I stayed with my grandma.
190
00:15:11,478 --> 00:15:15,115
I actually thought my grandma
was my mom. Yeah,
191
00:15:15,148 --> 00:15:18,085
I did not know my parents
at all until I came here
192
00:15:18,118 --> 00:15:20,954
It was hard, but we
got through it
193
00:15:22,655 --> 00:15:26,960
Recently, I broke my foot.
I fell from 16 feet.
194
00:15:26,994 --> 00:15:29,462
I was in the hospital
for a week.
195
00:15:29,496 --> 00:15:31,431
Right now, I'm actually
recovering.
196
00:15:31,464 --> 00:15:34,201
And my muscles in my foot are
really weak.
197
00:15:34,234 --> 00:15:37,170
And I can't do all the things
I used to do before.
198
00:15:40,307 --> 00:15:43,410
This injury was just, I mean
I think the whole school felt
199
00:15:43,443 --> 00:15:45,512
devestated by it.
200
00:15:45,545 --> 00:15:49,516
Edgar appeared with his cast
I remember the day he came back.
201
00:15:49,549 --> 00:15:54,121
and crutches in the doorway,
you know, just a cheer went up
202
00:15:54,154 --> 00:15:56,589
from the students. I mean,
he certainly has
203
00:15:56,623 --> 00:15:58,658
everything... everything.
204
00:15:58,691 --> 00:16:03,496
And he's just such a wonderful,
wonderful boy.
205
00:16:03,530 --> 00:16:05,332
I mean, he is so loved.
206
00:16:05,365 --> 00:16:09,402
The doctor said I healed pretty
quickly, like, quicker than
207
00:16:09,436 --> 00:16:12,572
I should have. So I actually
might be doing
208
00:16:12,605 --> 00:16:13,706
Russian dance this year again.
209
00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:15,508
(director)
The hardest part.
210
00:16:15,542 --> 00:16:16,509
(Giggles) Yeah.
211
00:16:26,686 --> 00:16:29,322
How Luis has grown. I remember
he came to the studio
212
00:16:29,356 --> 00:16:33,226
as a little boy, basically
accompanying his sister
213
00:16:33,260 --> 00:16:36,029
to the school. Which,
incidentally, is how
214
00:16:36,063 --> 00:16:38,065
Marat started ballet, as well.
215
00:16:38,098 --> 00:16:41,368
Many boys come to the ballet
as you know, just sort of
216
00:16:41,401 --> 00:16:45,338
coming along with sister.
But he really has developed
217
00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:48,341
in technique and also
in expression.
218
00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:50,210
After I got offered a
scholarship with Marat
219
00:16:50,243 --> 00:16:54,514
I was 13 turning 14.
I came from Guatemala.
220
00:16:54,547 --> 00:16:56,683
My mom, she's raised me.
221
00:16:56,716 --> 00:16:59,219
She leaves the house at 9:30
at night and she arrives
222
00:16:59,252 --> 00:17:03,290
She babysits from 10 'til
7 in the morning.
223
00:17:03,323 --> 00:17:07,727
She leaves her morning job
then goes to clean a house.
224
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,098
After that house cleans another
house. Drive home,
225
00:17:11,131 --> 00:17:13,433
pick my sister up,
drop her off at her school
226
00:17:13,466 --> 00:17:16,603
then drive to another house.
Clean it up, maybe get home,
227
00:17:16,636 --> 00:17:20,640
sleep for 2 or 3 hours and
then do the whole thing again.
228
00:17:20,673 --> 00:17:25,412
I owe a lot to her.
She's just a very strong woman.
229
00:17:25,445 --> 00:17:28,281
This year specifically is
very tough.
230
00:17:28,315 --> 00:17:30,783
It's like Luis, it's your year,
your last year,
231
00:17:30,817 --> 00:17:33,120
before you audition
for companies.
232
00:17:33,153 --> 00:17:35,555
The first 2 years were like,
oh I'm dancing, this is great.
233
00:17:35,588 --> 00:17:38,125
Oh, I have a show...yay!
234
00:17:38,158 --> 00:17:40,760
Now it's like we have a show
but, audition, audition...
235
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:46,099
Company, company, company.
That's my goal. (laughs)
236
00:17:46,133 --> 00:17:49,736
Once I got back from
San Francisco this summer
237
00:17:49,769 --> 00:17:53,106
I started taking classes here
and then Marat's like, well
238
00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:55,308
we have Nutcracker
this season. If you stay,
239
00:17:55,342 --> 00:17:58,545
there's a high possibility of
like, maybe you being
240
00:17:58,578 --> 00:17:59,879
our Prince this year.
241
00:17:59,912 --> 00:18:05,318
Prince, like, oh God.
(laughs)
242
00:18:05,352 --> 00:18:07,654
Terror and excitement
at the same time.
243
00:18:07,687 --> 00:18:09,189
(laughs again)
244
00:18:09,222 --> 00:18:21,201
*
245
00:18:21,234 --> 00:18:29,742
(applause on recording)
246
00:18:35,748 --> 00:18:37,184
I was young, I was like, 7.
247
00:18:37,217 --> 00:18:39,319
So, I was doing gymnastics,
I was doing hip-ho
248
00:18:39,352 --> 00:18:41,488
I was... I just saw it as
another activity.
249
00:18:41,521 --> 00:18:44,257
I wasn't serious about it until
I was 11, I think.
250
00:18:44,291 --> 00:18:45,825
That's when I started figuring,
figuring out
251
00:18:45,858 --> 00:18:47,494
what I wanted to do.
252
00:18:53,433 --> 00:18:58,205
How Adam has grown up,
he's just, he's like a sponge.
253
00:18:58,238 --> 00:19:01,341
He's exceptionally coordinated.
254
00:19:01,374 --> 00:19:03,943
And he was a gymnast
before he came to ballet
255
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:06,246
so I think that really
helped him a lot
256
00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:08,881
in that he sort of had
an educated body.
257
00:19:08,915 --> 00:19:13,220
You know he, is a person
who doesn't have all those
258
00:19:13,253 --> 00:19:17,724
self-doubts and questions
about if he can
259
00:19:17,757 --> 00:19:19,792
and if he should
and is he good enough.
260
00:19:19,826 --> 00:19:22,762
You know, he's supremely
self-confident.
261
00:19:22,795 --> 00:19:25,865
And this is a great asset
to him.
262
00:19:25,898 --> 00:19:28,735
He, you know he listens.
263
00:19:28,768 --> 00:19:29,769
I mean he doesn't always listen
264
00:19:29,802 --> 00:19:31,137
but you know
he's a teenager, too.
265
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:34,574
He goes through the period where
he thinks he knows everything
266
00:19:34,607 --> 00:19:37,910
and then, you know, he realizes,
267
00:19:37,944 --> 00:19:41,314
oh, you still have something
to teach me.
268
00:19:41,348 --> 00:19:44,451
I'd like to go to a
classical ballet company first
269
00:19:44,484 --> 00:19:46,886
and then do a
contemporary company.
270
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:49,389
I want to go to one of those
later as my body starts
271
00:19:49,422 --> 00:19:51,224
breaking down.
(laughs)
272
00:19:51,258 --> 00:19:53,726
Marat always talks about
amazing principal dancers
273
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,463
who don't even need to
play the principal roles
274
00:19:56,496 --> 00:19:59,632
to convey what they
want to say as an artist.
275
00:19:59,666 --> 00:20:01,734
So, I mean, to be Prince
would be great,
276
00:20:01,768 --> 00:20:03,603
to be Snow again
would be great.
277
00:20:03,636 --> 00:20:05,738
Whatever it is, I'm good.
278
00:20:09,942 --> 00:20:11,478
(director)
What was the family's reaction
279
00:20:11,511 --> 00:20:13,280
to Adam being cast as
Prince this year
280
00:20:13,313 --> 00:20:16,449
or the first time ever
at this school? Home grown.
281
00:20:16,483 --> 00:20:18,285
A lot of pride on my part.
282
00:20:18,318 --> 00:20:20,753
Been hoping since last year
that it would happen.
283
00:20:20,787 --> 00:20:22,755
You know, maybe they'll cast
him as Prince next year
284
00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:24,957
but when it actually happened
we were both thrilled.
285
00:20:24,991 --> 00:20:26,759
You know he doesn't light up
the room
286
00:20:26,793 --> 00:20:27,927
when he finds something
like that out
287
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,229
but I know inside he was
very thrilled.
288
00:20:36,803 --> 00:20:38,638
I'm a sophmore there so
it's my second year.
289
00:20:38,671 --> 00:20:40,407
LA County High School
for the Arts.
290
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,276
Bye guys, see ya.
Bye.
291
00:20:43,310 --> 00:20:45,044
You can handle more than
you give yourself credit for.
292
00:20:45,077 --> 00:20:48,915
Yeah, but, my body hurts.
My body hurts, too, man.
293
00:20:48,948 --> 00:20:50,750
Yeah, I know. I just
don't wanna...
294
00:20:50,783 --> 00:20:52,319
You gotta get used to it.
295
00:20:52,352 --> 00:20:54,754
I don't wanna get used to
hurting myself everyday.
296
00:20:54,787 --> 00:20:56,589
I mean, what are you in this
profession for then?
297
00:20:56,623 --> 00:20:58,491
Not hurting myself?
298
00:20:58,525 --> 00:21:00,660
There are more girls and there
are more stereotypes
299
00:21:00,693 --> 00:21:02,295
about girls in ballet
300
00:21:02,329 --> 00:21:04,497
and the boys are kind of
blazing their own trail.
301
00:21:14,607 --> 00:21:16,976
Depending on which train comes
we might have to get off again.
302
00:21:17,009 --> 00:21:19,546
If the red comes first,
we get on the red
303
00:21:19,579 --> 00:21:21,814
And then hop on the purple
If the purple comes first,
304
00:21:21,848 --> 00:21:23,650
We just stay on the purple
all the way down.
305
00:21:23,683 --> 00:21:25,852
The first time I did that,
I got really lost.
306
00:21:25,885 --> 00:21:28,988
I got... I got really lost.
307
00:21:29,021 --> 00:21:32,692
To be honest people are
pretty comfortable with it
308
00:21:32,725 --> 00:21:36,028
around me as far as I can tell.
Kids joke around
309
00:21:36,062 --> 00:21:38,731
But it's all joking around
you know?
310
00:21:38,765 --> 00:21:40,667
It's like oh, you're
a ballerina. But in the end,
311
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:42,402
I know I'm a "ballerina".
312
00:21:44,704 --> 00:21:47,707
Let's go to class.
313
00:22:07,427 --> 00:22:10,563
Eli has been with the school,
for... really all
314
00:22:10,597 --> 00:22:14,634
of his dance career.
He has all of the
315
00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:17,937
natural qualities that
you would look for in a dancer.
316
00:22:17,970 --> 00:22:21,908
He has long legs, he has
long arms and long neck.
317
00:22:21,941 --> 00:22:27,580
He has deep feeling.
He's able to use his body
318
00:22:27,614 --> 00:22:30,550
as a vehicle for expression,
and has come to that
319
00:22:30,583 --> 00:22:32,519
fairly early.
320
00:22:32,552 --> 00:22:34,721
He's coming through that period
where he's, you know,
321
00:22:34,754 --> 00:22:39,392
getting the reins of his
emotions in his... in his hands
322
00:22:39,426 --> 00:22:42,795
and you know he has
everything that he needs
323
00:22:42,829 --> 00:22:45,932
to do what he would like to do
with dance.
324
00:22:45,965 --> 00:22:50,069
I hope to be the Snow Prince
this year.
325
00:22:50,102 --> 00:22:54,741
I've always been waiting
for that. And I know, like,
326
00:22:54,774 --> 00:22:57,109
I'm too young to be
the Prince
327
00:22:57,143 --> 00:22:59,979
Even though, like,
that would be amazing.
328
00:23:00,012 --> 00:23:04,651
But, hopefully, next year.
Or some new role. like,
329
00:23:04,684 --> 00:23:06,886
I'm always up for
a new challenge.
330
00:23:06,919 --> 00:23:09,822
Something that allows me
to express myself on stage.
331
00:23:19,532 --> 00:23:23,102
Ok so these are my white tights
that I wear for everything.
332
00:23:23,135 --> 00:23:26,639
And um...
it's really uncomfortable.
333
00:23:26,673 --> 00:23:30,843
'Course these are my giant
dance books collection.
334
00:23:30,877 --> 00:23:33,112
This one's from Marat actually.
Wait, if I pull it out...
335
00:23:35,582 --> 00:23:39,486
and he's in it....right here.
And he signed it for me.
336
00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:42,855
It's really special,
I'm going to keep it forever.
337
00:23:42,889 --> 00:23:46,626
So in my closet this is my
famous collection
338
00:23:46,659 --> 00:23:49,662
of warm-ups.
339
00:23:49,696 --> 00:23:52,832
But this one is
the most special
340
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:57,103
because Joaquin gave it to me.
Joaquin De Luz
341
00:23:57,136 --> 00:24:01,641
from New York City Ballet.
342
00:24:01,674 --> 00:24:06,879
and Baryshnikov gave it to him
and Baryshnikov wore it
343
00:24:06,913 --> 00:24:11,718
and Joaquin wore it. That's
probably the most valuable thing
344
00:24:11,751 --> 00:24:16,188
to me that I have
in terms of ballet.
345
00:24:18,925 --> 00:24:25,197
Seeing all the work that they
do and how much they put in
346
00:24:25,231 --> 00:24:30,803
and I could see that they
enjoyed showing all that work
347
00:24:30,837 --> 00:24:34,607
and I enjoyed, like,
absorbing all that work
348
00:24:34,641 --> 00:24:39,045
and it made me look
forward to what
349
00:24:39,078 --> 00:24:42,048
I'm gonna be capable of
doing in the future.
350
00:24:45,752 --> 00:24:50,089
How high they jumped.
How... their legs stretched
351
00:24:50,122 --> 00:24:52,925
and how their feet pointed.
352
00:24:52,959 --> 00:25:00,132
They felt like one person.
They were one person together
353
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:01,901
like, everything they did,
they did as one.
354
00:25:01,934 --> 00:25:05,271
They were snug together...
she wrapped around him,
355
00:25:05,304 --> 00:25:07,707
I was just like...
356
00:25:07,740 --> 00:25:11,944
was totally... driven by it.
357
00:25:13,012 --> 00:25:16,115
Kind of like my goal
in one night,
358
00:25:16,148 --> 00:25:20,519
like, I saw my goal as a dancer.
359
00:25:30,663 --> 00:25:35,802
Performing on the stage on tour
with an amazing company,
360
00:25:35,835 --> 00:25:39,271
with an amazing corps,
with amazing principals
361
00:25:40,673 --> 00:25:43,643
and doing an amazing ballet
with an amazing score.
362
00:25:45,044 --> 00:25:48,948
'Cuz that's just, like,
what it's all about.
363
00:26:05,364 --> 00:26:09,869
When we begin rehearsal, he's
already almost mapped out
364
00:26:09,902 --> 00:26:12,872
the changes that he's going
to make to the production
365
00:26:12,905 --> 00:26:15,875
by having seen the
level of mastery
366
00:26:15,908 --> 00:26:18,177
that the students are at
at this moment in time.
367
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:27,920
So we have between 2
and 300 hours of rehearsal
368
00:26:27,954 --> 00:26:30,589
that has to be scheduled.
369
00:26:33,292 --> 00:26:36,062
Party scene, of course,
has to be very well rehearsed
370
00:26:36,095 --> 00:26:39,365
because you have so many
little children on the stage.
371
00:26:44,370 --> 00:26:47,039
And they really need to have
a very good sense of the action
372
00:26:47,073 --> 00:26:50,009
and where they are
and what they're doing.
373
00:26:57,383 --> 00:27:01,888
Make sure you're putting on
a straight line right?
374
00:27:01,921 --> 00:27:04,791
We need to feel our friends
next to each other.
375
00:27:04,824 --> 00:27:07,326
What else do we need to do?
376
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:12,398
Um, you have to, like, follow
the person in front of you.
377
00:27:12,431 --> 00:27:14,701
And make it straight.
378
00:27:22,842 --> 00:27:28,114
And 1, 2, 3, 4 and up,
and down.
379
00:27:34,721 --> 00:27:41,127
Just yeah, just let's walk and
see if we can follow lines.
380
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,263
We're starting act 2,
let's go, let's go.
381
00:27:44,296 --> 00:27:50,302
(unintelligible background)
382
00:27:55,507 --> 00:27:58,878
(director)
You gotta go in there
aren't you in act 2?
383
00:28:04,050 --> 00:28:07,019
Hold your back... good.
384
00:28:13,392 --> 00:28:16,195
And... center is right here!
385
00:28:45,357 --> 00:28:47,493
(squeals)
386
00:28:47,526 --> 00:28:51,197
(laughter)
387
00:28:51,230 --> 00:28:55,167
Um, let me give you to my mom
okay?
388
00:28:55,201 --> 00:29:00,072
Javier?
(gasp) He's so cute!
389
00:29:00,106 --> 00:29:02,241
Oh my goodness, Javier.
390
00:29:02,274 --> 00:29:05,411
He is a child who was
just born to dance.
391
00:29:05,444 --> 00:29:08,948
We were so sad when
we heard that, uh,
392
00:29:08,981 --> 00:29:11,350
that they were moving
to Beijing.
393
00:29:11,383 --> 00:29:13,452
But they decided they would
come back for Nutcracker.
394
00:29:14,486 --> 00:29:16,422
Oh... this is for you.
395
00:29:16,455 --> 00:29:21,260
Wow...I love it...
thank you.
396
00:29:21,293 --> 00:29:24,964
It's the biggest Nutcracker
I have ever seen.
397
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:29,368
That's so awesome!
398
00:29:29,401 --> 00:29:32,271
How are you guys?
399
00:29:32,972 --> 00:29:35,474
And they said, you know
e thing that we will miss most
400
00:29:35,507 --> 00:29:37,576
about Los Angeles is
401
00:29:37,609 --> 00:29:41,313
Marat Daukayev School of Ballet
and dancing in The Nutcracker.
402
00:29:43,315 --> 00:29:46,118
He started in boys class
and he was so focused
403
00:29:46,152 --> 00:29:51,323
and he had such good, uh, sense
of tempo and rhythm
404
00:29:51,357 --> 00:29:56,295
And, and... coordination and
he had such joy
405
00:29:56,328 --> 00:29:59,265
in dance and he just wanted
to dance all the time.
406
00:29:59,298 --> 00:30:03,435
I came here to do
The Nutcracker.
407
00:30:03,469 --> 00:30:06,605
And see my friends...
408
00:30:06,638 --> 00:30:10,176
all of my friends
at the ballet school.
409
00:30:10,209 --> 00:30:15,581
I started ballet dancing
when I was 4 years old
410
00:30:15,614 --> 00:30:21,487
and now I'm 7 years old
so that makes 4 years.
Four?
411
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:26,993
In China if you want to take
a class with a master teacher,
412
00:30:27,026 --> 00:30:29,495
It's merciless.
413
00:30:29,528 --> 00:30:33,099
I felt like it really was
stressful and it hurt lots.
414
00:30:33,132 --> 00:30:35,601
But now I'm used to it.
415
00:30:35,634 --> 00:30:40,572
(director)
Why didn't you give up?
Cuz I needed to keep on trying.
416
00:30:40,606 --> 00:30:44,643
Quitters you can't get better.
417
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:49,148
And it's my dream to be
a famous ballet dancer.
418
00:30:50,682 --> 00:30:54,286
So I'm really working hard.
419
00:30:57,156 --> 00:31:02,995
I'm David Rishton. I'm 77.
And I've actually since 1975,
420
00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:06,165
taken 5 ballet classes a week
421
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:09,501
except one operation
for a hernia.
422
00:31:09,535 --> 00:31:13,672
Marat invited me to play
the role as the grandfather.
423
00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:19,445
So now it's year 12 in
his Nutcrackers.
424
00:31:19,478 --> 00:31:23,415
I've learned a lot by being in
his ballets, about ballet,
425
00:31:23,449 --> 00:31:27,253
I watch and look and listen.
So I am grateful to Marat
426
00:31:27,286 --> 00:31:30,957
for this experience I'm having.
It's great. I love it.
427
00:31:30,990 --> 00:31:34,493
(director)
When did they rope you into
being a dancing dad?
428
00:31:34,526 --> 00:31:38,030
First year. It was a smaller
company even 5 years ago.
429
00:31:38,064 --> 00:31:40,332
Wasn't as many people in it
and they said,
430
00:31:40,366 --> 00:31:42,068
Hey, we somebody to help.
431
00:31:42,101 --> 00:31:44,370
I wasn't actually asked when
I first did it.
432
00:31:44,403 --> 00:31:46,238
I came home one day
and my wife said,
433
00:31:46,272 --> 00:31:48,674
Would you like to be a
dancing dads? And I said,
434
00:31:48,707 --> 00:31:51,577
well, okay, sounds like an
interesting thing and she said,
435
00:31:51,610 --> 00:31:53,579
Good, 'cuz I already
volunteered you.
436
00:31:53,612 --> 00:31:56,048
I have a son who's in level 2.
437
00:31:56,082 --> 00:31:57,683
I brought him to the first day
of rehearsals
438
00:31:57,716 --> 00:31:59,418
figuring that the most
complicated thing
439
00:31:59,451 --> 00:32:02,421
I'd need to do is sign him up.
And I walked up to the desk
440
00:32:02,454 --> 00:32:04,256
and the woman said,
Would you like to be
441
00:32:04,290 --> 00:32:06,658
a dancing dad?
And I looked down at Walter
442
00:32:06,692 --> 00:32:08,260
and he was looking up
at me like,
443
00:32:08,294 --> 00:32:11,430
Of course you would!
so, um, basically
444
00:32:11,463 --> 00:32:13,599
I was roped right in,
on the spot.
445
00:32:13,632 --> 00:32:15,301
But I asked, I said look,
we don't do any
446
00:32:15,334 --> 00:32:17,736
dancing right, we just sort of
mill around the stage...
447
00:32:17,769 --> 00:32:20,106
And they're like... oh yeah,
no dancing, no problem.
448
00:32:20,139 --> 00:32:21,640
Of course then when the
rehearsing started,
449
00:32:21,673 --> 00:32:23,475
it was a bit of a
bait and switch, but...
450
00:32:23,509 --> 00:32:29,715
Eight step, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8... and 5, 6,
451
00:32:29,748 --> 00:32:32,451
And then... like this, yes.
452
00:32:32,484 --> 00:32:35,621
And then they'll be a big, uh
boys make like big circle.
453
00:32:35,654 --> 00:32:38,157
Got it.
Alright? Okay, one more time.
454
00:32:38,190 --> 00:32:39,625
And a one...
455
00:32:39,658 --> 00:32:41,427
This is my first year.
456
00:32:41,460 --> 00:32:44,296
My first time, my first day.
This is my first day.
457
00:32:44,330 --> 00:32:45,998
(director)
How did it go?
458
00:32:46,032 --> 00:32:49,435
Very difficult (laughs)
Very hard to remember.
459
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:51,137
(director)
What was the hardest step
for you?
460
00:32:51,170 --> 00:32:52,604
The one that he doesn't
know how to do. (laughs)
461
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:55,274
I have to remember...
462
00:33:00,212 --> 00:33:06,452
Takashi, right, left, step,
left, right, step, right, left,
463
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:08,554
And now, change legs.
464
00:33:18,397 --> 00:33:20,699
I just was worried cuz I mean
I've never done ballet
465
00:33:20,732 --> 00:33:23,502
or dance and I kind of expected
someone to show me the steps
466
00:33:23,535 --> 00:33:26,338
before the whole thing started
and everything just started.
467
00:33:32,378 --> 00:33:34,513
Like this, yes that's it.
468
00:33:34,546 --> 00:33:38,050
I just started following that
guy cuz he was in front of me.
469
00:33:49,195 --> 00:33:50,796
People, people are not there
to watch us.
470
00:33:50,829 --> 00:33:52,698
They're there to watch
the children.
471
00:33:52,731 --> 00:33:56,502
We feel like the dads are
just walking around on stage.
472
00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:59,671
You know for us, (laughs)
Really the steps
473
00:33:59,705 --> 00:34:02,208
are almost nothing.
I mean
474
00:34:02,241 --> 00:34:08,447
the choreography is so simple
and so easily mastered.
475
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,319
But I, I think this is just our
lack of perspective
476
00:34:13,352 --> 00:34:17,123
on what non-dancing people
consider dancing.
477
00:34:38,177 --> 00:34:40,412
When you're on stage and your
daughter is on stage
478
00:34:40,446 --> 00:34:44,250
at the same time and you think
about, you know that,
479
00:34:44,283 --> 00:34:46,485
taking off work early and
all those things,
480
00:34:46,518 --> 00:34:48,154
you think, God, I'd do it all
again, in a heartbeat.
481
00:34:48,187 --> 00:34:51,157
Because, you know, that
one moment when she
482
00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:53,159
she looked at you and
she... her eyes,
483
00:34:53,192 --> 00:34:55,561
you know, just caught
your eye... for a moment.
484
00:34:55,594 --> 00:34:58,264
It's worth everything.
485
00:34:58,297 --> 00:34:59,731
(director)
I can't keep from crying.
486
00:34:59,765 --> 00:35:01,900
I have to keep from crying, too.
487
00:35:01,933 --> 00:35:04,470
I mean I just keep wondering
what other moments
488
00:35:04,503 --> 00:35:05,771
like that I'm gonna have
in my life.
489
00:35:05,804 --> 00:35:08,807
There's not that many of them.
490
00:35:15,881 --> 00:35:18,484
The little ones are
watching principals dance
491
00:35:18,517 --> 00:35:21,187
and learning how to
pick up choreography
492
00:35:21,220 --> 00:35:24,623
and it's amazing how
Marat will now come out
493
00:35:24,656 --> 00:35:26,225
of rehearsal and say,
494
00:35:26,258 --> 00:35:27,859
"First rehearsal,
they know everything."
495
00:35:29,428 --> 00:35:31,730
And that's partly because
we have tradition in the
496
00:35:31,763 --> 00:35:35,267
school that children have been
through Nutcracker
497
00:35:35,301 --> 00:35:37,669
many times and they know
all the dances.
498
00:35:38,270 --> 00:35:41,340
Too t)
499
00:35:53,485 --> 00:35:54,520
Mommy.
500
00:36:02,394 --> 00:36:05,397
Marat said that his teacher
only told him Good Marat
501
00:36:05,431 --> 00:36:07,899
when he had already graduated
moved on and was
502
00:36:07,933 --> 00:36:10,436
and was soloist and then
principal at The Kirov
503
00:36:10,469 --> 00:36:11,903
and he said Good, Marat .
504
00:36:26,452 --> 00:36:28,887
Well, the teacher is there
to tell you what to fix.
505
00:37:14,533 --> 00:37:17,002
(applause)
506
00:37:23,575 --> 00:37:25,711
The thing that was so amazing
to my wife and I
507
00:37:25,744 --> 00:37:28,814
about this company
and working on the Nutcracker...
508
00:37:28,847 --> 00:37:32,984
Our daughter is learning more
from failure than success
509
00:37:33,018 --> 00:37:34,653
She didn't get moved up
as quickly
510
00:37:34,686 --> 00:37:35,687
as some of the other kids.
511
00:37:35,721 --> 00:37:38,357
At first, it's hard as a parent
because you are,
512
00:37:38,390 --> 00:37:41,427
"Hey! What about my kid!
and, and...
513
00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:44,730
Then you really recognize that
learning to succeed
514
00:37:44,763 --> 00:37:47,699
when you've failed...
is a pretty important lesson.
515
00:37:47,733 --> 00:37:49,868
It's not even about dance
at that point.
516
00:37:49,901 --> 00:37:53,972
It's kind of the zen of ballet.
It's a vehicle through which
517
00:37:54,005 --> 00:37:57,509
you define yourself and
define how you think
518
00:37:57,543 --> 00:38:00,679
about work, how you think
about adversity, how you
519
00:38:00,712 --> 00:38:05,050
how you make yourself resilient
how you come back from defeat.
520
00:38:05,083 --> 00:38:07,553
How you become the
master of your mood
521
00:38:07,586 --> 00:38:11,056
so that when you are less than
satisfied with yourself,
522
00:38:11,089 --> 00:38:13,459
you have the energy left
to progress and to
523
00:38:13,492 --> 00:38:16,595
put it aside.
That's all stuff that adults
524
00:38:16,628 --> 00:38:19,931
struggle with and they have to
learn it so early.
525
00:38:19,965 --> 00:38:22,601
And so the discipline
that they have here is
526
00:38:22,634 --> 00:38:25,070
what we're really looking for.
The dance is extra,
527
00:38:25,103 --> 00:38:27,806
you know. And then being
on stage is a bonus.
528
00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:30,976
So between all of it,
it's um... it's unique.
529
00:38:43,789 --> 00:38:46,091
Where's the tape?
We need tape on it.
530
00:38:51,663 --> 00:38:54,733
Make a muscle.
(laughs)
531
00:38:54,766 --> 00:39:01,339
(unintelligible
background voices)
532
00:39:06,412 --> 00:39:08,647
The hardest part of rehearsal
is schedule.
533
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,617
Because, once they're all there
it's like a celebration.
534
00:39:11,650 --> 00:39:20,926
*
535
00:39:20,959 --> 00:39:24,796
(uninteligible) straight up!
Go!
536
00:39:24,830 --> 00:39:27,933
Go, go back! Girls!
537
00:39:27,966 --> 00:39:31,102
*
538
00:39:31,136 --> 00:39:34,706
Mice stop! Stop!...
Stop mice!
539
00:39:34,740 --> 00:39:39,878
Go!
Next on music!
540
00:39:39,911 --> 00:39:43,949
Mice go!
Mice go...mice go.
541
00:39:43,982 --> 00:39:56,061
(unintelligible
background voices)
542
00:39:56,094 --> 00:39:58,997
*
543
00:39:59,030 --> 00:40:01,467
Your preparation is done
in class.
544
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:04,102
And, your technique is at
a certain level.
545
00:40:04,135 --> 00:40:06,938
And then rehearsal is
about the steps...
546
00:40:06,972 --> 00:40:09,007
about the nuance,
about feeling.
547
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,577
About how you breathe
about what you're thinking,
548
00:40:11,610 --> 00:40:15,481
about where you're looking.
About how you are feeling,
549
00:40:15,514 --> 00:40:19,485
The...the meaning of...
your dance.
550
00:40:19,518 --> 00:40:21,453
And, communicating that
to the audience.
551
00:40:21,487 --> 00:40:32,063
*
552
00:40:32,097 --> 00:40:39,037
(kiss sound)
(laughter, giggling, applause)
553
00:40:40,138 --> 00:40:43,174
*
554
00:40:58,189 --> 00:41:00,526
*
555
00:41:00,559 --> 00:41:02,761
It's the magic of
the theater, too. (Yes).
556
00:41:02,794 --> 00:41:05,631
How people move inside
and they come to a place
557
00:41:05,664 --> 00:41:07,866
that is really a different
time and place.
558
00:41:07,899 --> 00:41:19,077
*
559
00:41:19,110 --> 00:41:21,046
You see their faces during
the production.
560
00:41:21,079 --> 00:41:24,750
How they are coming to life
and they're laughing
561
00:41:24,783 --> 00:41:27,753
and smiling and how it's like,
562
00:41:27,786 --> 00:41:31,623
art lifts you up and how
having this, like, space
563
00:41:31,657 --> 00:41:34,793
that you go into and you are
entering another world.
564
00:41:34,826 --> 00:41:38,530
How it refreshes your... your
spirit and your heart.
565
00:41:38,564 --> 00:41:48,607
*
566
00:41:48,607 --> 00:41:58,617
*
567
00:42:22,273 --> 00:42:27,846
(applause)
568
00:42:27,879 --> 00:42:30,649
Costumes can sometimes be
a pain.
569
00:42:30,682 --> 00:42:36,121
I'm getting in
little by little, so....alright.
570
00:42:36,154 --> 00:42:40,826
(ughh) Thing to now...
571
00:42:40,859 --> 00:42:43,094
It's fun to watch you struggle.
Yeah...
572
00:42:43,128 --> 00:42:45,964
(gasp, choke, inhale)
573
00:42:45,997 --> 00:42:49,668
Oh, this is cool. It's cool.
(laughs)
574
00:42:49,701 --> 00:42:52,103
It's like there's a
bunny wabbit.
575
00:42:52,137 --> 00:42:54,973
Yeah, and his wingspan is like
18 feet.
576
00:42:55,006 --> 00:42:56,942
It's not 18 feet.
For God's sake,
577
00:42:56,975 --> 00:42:59,110
it's probably not even
5 feet.
578
00:42:59,144 --> 00:43:00,111
That looks so weird.
579
00:43:00,145 --> 00:43:10,188
*
580
00:43:10,188 --> 00:43:20,198
*
581
00:43:25,236 --> 00:43:27,906
I took over the program book
5 years ago.
582
00:43:27,939 --> 00:43:29,908
That's the number one
fundraising
583
00:43:29,941 --> 00:43:32,744
That will help
the Nutcracker cause.
584
00:43:32,778 --> 00:43:38,750
(unintelligible
background voices)
585
00:43:38,784 --> 00:43:43,188
3, one more, ready 1, 2, 3...
Great job.
586
00:43:43,221 --> 00:43:48,226
*
587
00:43:48,259 --> 00:43:51,129
Very nice.
588
00:43:51,162 --> 00:43:54,766
Let's get one... just put your
hands like this. There ya go.
589
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,436
Well you know so many of our
tutus are from great ballerinas.
590
00:43:58,469 --> 00:44:01,439
Because Marat would always
call and say,
591
00:44:01,472 --> 00:44:05,143
Do you have any tutus?
Because we don't have anything .
592
00:44:05,176 --> 00:44:07,012
In the beginning.
we had nothing.
593
00:44:07,045 --> 00:44:08,947
So when the Kirov would come,
someone would always come
594
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:11,817
with a little brown paper bag,
595
00:44:11,850 --> 00:44:13,919
you know, like drugs or
something. Here...
596
00:44:13,952 --> 00:44:16,254
here's something for Marat.
597
00:44:16,287 --> 00:44:19,958
And we'd all go,
"Wow, Mahale's tutu!
598
00:44:19,991 --> 00:44:22,794
and they all have their names
written inside.
599
00:44:30,035 --> 00:44:32,437
And Joe is still altering
our boy's costumes today.
600
00:44:32,470 --> 00:44:36,441
And we only have 6 days left.
We just got them yesterday
601
00:44:36,474 --> 00:44:41,446
and they're too narrow for Adam
and it's not really fixable.
602
00:44:41,479 --> 00:44:44,315
I just have to...
Yeah, a one piece collar.
603
00:44:44,349 --> 00:44:46,284
The problem is, the costumes
were made in Russia
604
00:44:46,317 --> 00:44:49,120
So they were never tried.
Joe has been making a new
605
00:44:49,154 --> 00:44:50,956
pas de troix costume
for Mikhael and he keeps
606
00:44:50,989 --> 00:44:53,959
bringing it back and refitting,
bringing it back and refitting
607
00:44:53,992 --> 00:44:56,261
to make sure that it fits
Mikhael and he can move.
608
00:44:56,294 --> 00:44:59,330
That wasn't done with Adam.
Adam couldn't lift his arms.
609
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:02,000
up... whatever I don't know
what that position is...
610
00:45:02,033 --> 00:45:05,170
Third position. But we're so
lucky to have Joe.
611
00:45:05,203 --> 00:45:07,372
He's a saint.
I'll actually get started a...
612
00:45:07,405 --> 00:45:10,708
mock up right away.
Yes, you can take it off now.
613
00:45:15,947 --> 00:45:18,516
Especially with the soloists.
They'll put on their costume
614
00:45:18,549 --> 00:45:20,418
and then they go upstairs
and make sure Marat likes it.
615
00:45:43,809 --> 00:45:46,111
And there's no such thing
as "can't". Like...
616
00:45:56,054 --> 00:45:57,889
Da nyet?
617
00:46:01,927 --> 00:46:04,796
And you want to do things
for him, you want to please him
618
00:46:04,830 --> 00:46:10,135
cuz he's such a doll. You know.
And he's right... he's right.
619
00:46:10,168 --> 00:46:11,402
It's just that we have...
don't have enough time.
620
00:46:11,436 --> 00:46:14,973
loading the truck tomorrow.
It's just like, we're
621
00:46:19,010 --> 00:46:21,312
Quick changes and many of them
we have to sew them
622
00:46:21,346 --> 00:46:24,015
in their costumes. So we'll be
on stage sewing them, actually
623
00:46:24,049 --> 00:46:26,952
in the costume and then
cutting them out of the costume
624
00:46:26,985 --> 00:46:28,319
so that they can quickly
get in the next costume.
625
00:46:36,061 --> 00:46:37,963
(director)
How do you know how to do this?
626
00:46:37,996 --> 00:46:41,166
I didn't. (laughs)
From experience.
627
00:46:41,199 --> 00:46:45,336
I mean. I, I still don't know.
(laughs) I don't.
628
00:46:45,370 --> 00:46:49,440
We just, sort of figure it out.
629
00:46:49,474 --> 00:46:52,477
I think it was Miss Yuko,
our wardrobe mistress, who said,
630
00:46:52,510 --> 00:46:56,447
she said, I always dreamed
of being part of something
631
00:46:56,481 --> 00:47:00,418
that is greater than myself.
And I'm so honored
632
00:47:00,451 --> 00:47:03,521
to do this work."
633
00:47:03,554 --> 00:47:06,324
Parents are basically the
engine that drives
634
00:47:06,357 --> 00:47:10,561
this performance.
They're doing everything
635
00:47:10,595 --> 00:47:14,866
to both support their children
and fund the production.
636
00:47:14,900 --> 00:47:17,903
Parents really have come to
understand over the years
637
00:47:17,936 --> 00:47:20,505
that they're in it too.
You know, it's
638
00:47:20,538 --> 00:47:23,241
their production, as well.
639
00:47:23,274 --> 00:47:27,512
When you give everything
and the result is good,
640
00:47:27,545 --> 00:47:32,350
people want to join in
and help, too. So, almost all
641
00:47:32,383 --> 00:47:35,186
of them have come to us
and said oh, I can do this .
642
00:47:35,220 --> 00:47:37,655
You go out there, you know,
and people are busy.
643
00:47:37,688 --> 00:47:40,491
You know, they're wrapping
things, they're, you know...
644
00:47:43,061 --> 00:47:45,096
I'm in charge of
hair and makeup.
645
00:47:45,130 --> 00:47:46,998
... then we'll give you a lesson
how to do it.
646
00:47:49,234 --> 00:47:52,103
We're just so fortunate.
It's a family here.
647
00:47:52,137 --> 00:47:54,572
I mean we're very inclusive,
you know, as long as you're
648
00:47:54,605 --> 00:47:57,075
part of the Nutcracker family,
you're part of the whole family.
649
00:47:57,108 --> 00:47:59,677
And, uh, I also do the
backstage crew.
650
00:47:59,710 --> 00:48:02,447
This is the props.
Load in, load out.
651
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,951
Grandfather's clocks, chairs,
Christmas trees, presents
652
00:48:05,984 --> 00:48:07,552
that you see moving
in and out of the stage.
653
00:48:07,585 --> 00:48:10,956
It's...it's quite beautiful.
654
00:48:10,989 --> 00:48:13,925
I mean, how could you say no
to ballet? How could you
655
00:48:13,959 --> 00:48:17,062
say no to the production
of Marat when you see and watch,
656
00:48:17,095 --> 00:48:20,065
You cannot say no
to the children.
657
00:48:20,098 --> 00:48:23,234
*
658
00:48:27,305 --> 00:48:29,240
(director)
You guys all look so different
in regular clothes.
659
00:48:29,274 --> 00:48:32,410
We're rarely in
regular clothes. (laughs)
660
00:48:32,443 --> 00:48:35,580
Can you imagine Adam as. like, a
grandpa in that chair? (laughs)
661
00:48:39,284 --> 00:48:42,587
How often do you talk about us
at the dinner table?
662
00:48:42,620 --> 00:48:45,023
No jokes. Like, seriously.
663
00:48:45,056 --> 00:48:48,359
What does your family say
about me? (laughter)
664
00:48:48,393 --> 00:48:52,964
Especially your dad who is like
who's this like, renown
665
00:48:52,998 --> 00:48:56,267
ballerin... a, ballerin... o?
(laughter)
666
00:48:56,301 --> 00:49:01,406
It's called a ballerone.
That's it, ballerone.
667
00:49:01,439 --> 00:49:04,342
No you don't really think like,
that he's a world renown star.
668
00:49:04,375 --> 00:49:08,246
Like, I do sometimes, like,
my dad did so many great things
669
00:49:08,279 --> 00:49:12,183
for the dance world. But outside
of class I see him as my dad.
670
00:49:12,217 --> 00:49:13,651
But inside of class I see him
as a teacher
671
00:49:13,684 --> 00:49:15,353
and I don't really think of him
as my dad.
672
00:49:15,386 --> 00:49:18,223
It's like a big... (difference?)
yeah, a big difference.
673
00:49:18,256 --> 00:49:21,059
Yeah, I think like, everywhere
else people are like,
674
00:49:21,092 --> 00:49:22,493
expecting their teachers to be
like, Oh my God,
675
00:49:22,527 --> 00:49:26,097
you were perfect .
And in ballet,
676
00:49:26,131 --> 00:49:28,199
the biggest compliment
that you can get is Good .
677
00:49:28,233 --> 00:49:30,501
Like seriously, it's like,
the biggest compliment.
678
00:49:30,535 --> 00:49:33,238
Like if you hear, good, you're
so happy. Especially from Marat.
679
00:49:33,271 --> 00:49:35,406
It's just because of the, like,
lifestyle he's come from.
680
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,477
Like, there was not "perfect"
in Russian vocabulary.
681
00:49:39,510 --> 00:49:42,513
And like, and I... I mean... but
I think that's just one of the
682
00:49:42,547 --> 00:49:47,085
reasons why he was so amazing
and why the Kirov is
683
00:49:47,118 --> 00:49:49,487
so amazing because they just
always strive for perfection.
684
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,722
Like they strive to be better
than perfect.
685
00:49:51,756 --> 00:49:54,559
Like, he was telling us the
other day that they had
686
00:49:54,592 --> 00:49:57,395
grading books where they
(oh yeah) where they
687
00:49:57,428 --> 00:50:01,199
gave them grades and, um
no one in the studio, like,
688
00:50:01,232 --> 00:50:03,334
in the Kirov company,
ever got an A. (gasp)
689
00:50:03,368 --> 00:50:07,405
C, C plus... C plus,
was like a good grade.
690
00:50:07,438 --> 00:50:11,809
(unintelligible)
And a "B" for them
was like, excellent.
691
00:50:11,842 --> 00:50:14,045
But they would never
get an "A".
692
00:50:14,079 --> 00:50:16,214
All ballerinas are
perfectionists.
693
00:50:16,247 --> 00:50:17,815
Like, when you can't do
something, it's just like,
694
00:50:17,848 --> 00:50:20,385
the worst feeling. I get like,
so frustrated
695
00:50:20,418 --> 00:50:22,187
when I can't do something right.
Or like,
696
00:50:22,220 --> 00:50:24,389
can't nail that triple turn
or something.
697
00:50:24,422 --> 00:50:27,725
If you don't do it in rehearsal
you can't do it on stage.
698
00:50:27,758 --> 00:50:31,396
You have to do at least 300%
in every class to get at least
699
00:50:31,429 --> 00:50:33,498
like an 85% on stage.
Cuz, you lose everything
700
00:50:33,531 --> 00:50:35,833
once you get on stage.
If you're just marking it
701
00:50:35,866 --> 00:50:38,203
it in rehearsal, you're not
going to get better
702
00:50:38,236 --> 00:50:40,371
and you're just going to
embarrass yourself on stage.
703
00:50:40,405 --> 00:50:43,074
I respect that because if
they want us to like, make it,
704
00:50:43,108 --> 00:50:45,510
which we want to do in like,
the "real world",
705
00:50:45,543 --> 00:50:47,512
the real dance world, we need
to be prepared to have like,
706
00:50:47,545 --> 00:50:50,281
one rehearsal and like,
be ready to perform.
707
00:50:50,315 --> 00:50:52,550
Yeah, I think, I think
everybody's favorite season
708
00:50:52,583 --> 00:50:55,386
is Nutcracker. I think
it's a magical week.
709
00:50:55,420 --> 00:50:58,123
You're here 24/7. Literally,
like my mom's like
710
00:50:58,156 --> 00:51:00,091
we should just buy you
a bed there.
711
00:51:00,125 --> 00:51:01,326
People might complain
you know ughhh, I'm at
712
00:51:01,359 --> 00:51:04,462
the studio from 12
til 8 today. But for me,
713
00:51:04,495 --> 00:51:06,464
like I don't want to sound
like I don't have a social life
714
00:51:06,497 --> 00:51:08,399
but like, you know,
after Nutcracker,
715
00:51:08,433 --> 00:51:10,435
it's really like,
what do I do now?
716
00:51:10,468 --> 00:51:14,105
We're all doing the thing that
we love. We're so much closer
717
00:51:14,139 --> 00:51:16,774
to these people than anywhere
else. You're so much closer
718
00:51:16,807 --> 00:51:19,577
cuz you knew each other
since you were like, 5.
719
00:51:19,610 --> 00:51:23,114
I came from France
and I was the only boy. But
720
00:51:23,148 --> 00:51:26,117
once I came to Marat's, it was
like, I'm not the only boy.
721
00:51:26,151 --> 00:51:29,120
Wait, I remember when...
I build a relationship
722
00:51:29,154 --> 00:51:31,322
with the guys...
and, and the girls.
723
00:51:31,356 --> 00:51:34,492
I've... held everyone's
waist in this room.
724
00:51:34,525 --> 00:51:39,164
I've travelled with most
of the people in this room.
725
00:51:39,197 --> 00:51:43,401
I've slept in the same bed with
some of the people in this room.
726
00:51:43,434 --> 00:51:47,438
We've gone literally to so many
different stages together.
727
00:51:47,472 --> 00:51:49,740
All of this because of ballet
728
00:51:49,774 --> 00:51:52,577
And that's what joins us
all together.
729
00:51:52,610 --> 00:51:56,247
Like, I consider you guys as
my like, brothers and sisters.
730
00:51:56,281 --> 00:51:58,749
I love you Edgar. (laughter)
731
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,885
We are like family
and brothers, sisters...
732
00:52:00,918 --> 00:52:03,321
daughters, husbands, wives.
733
00:52:03,354 --> 00:52:05,656
Well, Saya hasn't said
anything the whole time.
734
00:52:05,690 --> 00:52:09,660
Well, number one, um,
it's been my dream to be Masha.
735
00:52:09,694 --> 00:52:14,665
(cries) Oh, Saya, I feel you.
736
00:52:19,404 --> 00:52:24,342
last year, everyone told me
that I was gonna get Masha.
737
00:52:24,375 --> 00:52:28,479
and I got my hopes up.
(cries)
738
00:52:30,415 --> 00:52:35,186
And, and I didn't get it.
And same with this year.
739
00:52:35,220 --> 00:52:37,722
Um, everyone told me that I
was gonna get it
740
00:52:37,755 --> 00:52:41,359
this year for sure.
And I didn't get it.
741
00:52:41,392 --> 00:52:44,495
Um, I'm really happy for
the people that got it
742
00:52:44,529 --> 00:52:52,370
last year and this year.
Um...but...um...
743
00:52:52,403 --> 00:52:55,706
like someone said,
like, if you work hard for it
744
00:52:55,740 --> 00:52:58,843
you'll be put in the front row.
And I've been working
745
00:52:58,876 --> 00:53:02,480
since I was in level 1 and
it's been my dream to be Masha
746
00:53:02,513 --> 00:53:07,585
since level 1. But I never
got it. Um... but,
747
00:53:07,618 --> 00:53:09,887
I'm pretty sure there's
a reason for all this
748
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,390
and I'm happy with the roles
I got this year.
749
00:53:12,423 --> 00:53:14,925
Um, so... yeah.
750
00:53:17,328 --> 00:53:21,432
There's just so much,
so much time. So much time.
751
00:53:21,466 --> 00:53:23,301
And we're, you know, we're
throwing everything into it
752
00:53:23,334 --> 00:53:26,571
right now. But you'll get there
and all of the sudden
753
00:53:26,604 --> 00:53:30,308
you'll have done Masha
or Sugar Plum or Prince
754
00:53:30,341 --> 00:53:33,344
or whatever you did,
so many times that
755
00:53:33,378 --> 00:53:36,314
you won't even want it
at that point. So, you know,
756
00:53:36,347 --> 00:53:40,451
savor the, the hunting for it.
The, the wanting that role
757
00:53:40,485 --> 00:53:43,921
Cuz it'll go away.
I mean they do 48
758
00:53:43,954 --> 00:53:47,725
Nutcrackers at City Ballet.
48 Nutcrackers
759
00:53:47,758 --> 00:53:49,960
in a season. It's just,
it's ridiculous, you know.
760
00:53:49,994 --> 00:53:52,397
You end up doing that role
that you dreamed for,
761
00:53:52,430 --> 00:53:55,433
since you were 7 years old,
a hundred times in a row.
762
00:53:55,466 --> 00:53:58,736
But basically it doesn't
even matter.
763
00:53:58,769 --> 00:54:01,038
Whether you're a principal,
whether you're corps de ballet.
764
00:54:01,071 --> 00:54:04,509
I mean in the end,
it's all dance. It's all ballet.
765
00:54:04,542 --> 00:54:07,512
That's what we're here for,
I mean, that's what we do.
766
00:54:07,545 --> 00:54:10,648
There's no dividing lines
of reality.
767
00:54:10,681 --> 00:54:13,318
We make them and we have
these judgements in our mind.
768
00:54:13,351 --> 00:54:15,720
But actually... just one thing.
769
00:54:15,753 --> 00:54:18,022
We're all just here to dance.
770
00:54:18,055 --> 00:54:21,392
So... so cherish it.
771
00:54:21,426 --> 00:54:25,029
(giggling, laughter
unintelligible voices)
772
00:54:32,670 --> 00:54:34,505
(director)
What's your hope
in doing this documentary?
773
00:55:11,008 --> 00:55:21,051
*
774
00:55:21,051 --> 00:55:31,061
*
775
00:56:15,506 --> 00:56:19,544
(whining sound,truck liftge)
776
00:56:19,577 --> 00:56:22,880
Jeffrey came to us and said
Well, I have a catering company
777
00:56:22,913 --> 00:56:25,182
and I have, you know,
several restaurants. And so
778
00:56:25,215 --> 00:56:27,985
I would like to do your
catering next year."
779
00:56:28,018 --> 00:56:30,521
I have a tent company come out
and build me a
780
00:56:30,555 --> 00:56:34,024
fairly large tent. And we put
carpeting in it and we try to
781
00:56:34,058 --> 00:56:36,794
make it a little bit nicer.
So basically all the performers
782
00:56:36,827 --> 00:56:38,629
can sit down at one time
and eat.
783
00:56:38,663 --> 00:56:40,865
Before we used to have a list
and we used to check off
784
00:56:40,898 --> 00:56:44,134
who paid and who didn't pay
and Jeffrey said No. .
785
00:56:44,168 --> 00:56:46,804
For the parents who had not
not paid, to see them say
786
00:56:46,837 --> 00:56:49,173
"I'm sorry, you don't have
a ticket or a... a band"
787
00:56:49,206 --> 00:56:51,642
Or whatever you know, "You
need to have you can't eat.
788
00:56:51,676 --> 00:56:54,011
....really hard.
789
00:56:54,044 --> 00:56:57,014
But I wanted to treat them
like performers.
790
00:56:58,148 --> 00:57:00,885
so everybody
breaks bread together,
791
00:57:00,918 --> 00:57:02,953
the same food goes
to everyone. I don't know
792
00:57:02,987 --> 00:57:05,623
who pays and who doesn't.
Doesn't really matter to me.
793
00:57:05,656 --> 00:57:07,224
Because, you know, how many
moments are we all
794
00:57:07,257 --> 00:57:11,929
in the same place... together?
Nothing better.
795
00:57:11,962 --> 00:57:15,165
I mean, what else...
what else is there?
796
00:57:15,199 --> 00:57:18,202
Like our hot chocolates.
This is the best part
797
00:57:18,235 --> 00:57:20,738
about the Nutcracker.
Especially when you
798
00:57:20,771 --> 00:57:23,908
You put in perfect water
and everything. It's good.
799
00:57:23,941 --> 00:57:26,076
Glad you're enjoying it.
I love.
800
00:57:26,110 --> 00:57:29,046
It's really come together
long before we're in
801
00:57:29,079 --> 00:57:31,048
the theater. I mean,
we have run through
802
00:57:31,081 --> 00:57:33,718
always the weekend
of Thanksgiving. And by then
803
00:57:33,751 --> 00:57:36,053
we're running the
whole performance from the top.
804
00:57:36,086 --> 00:57:38,589
And everything is running
very smoothly.
805
00:57:38,623 --> 00:57:41,626
People who are working
with props have all the props
806
00:57:41,659 --> 00:57:44,562
going at the same time.
Costumes are all ready.
807
00:57:44,595 --> 00:57:46,564
I mean we're almost ready
to do dress
808
00:57:46,597 --> 00:57:49,066
in... on the weekend
of Thnksgiving.
809
00:57:49,099 --> 00:57:52,169
So it's really just, you know,
the fine points after that.
810
00:57:52,202 --> 00:57:56,774
*
811
00:57:56,807 --> 00:58:02,780
(unintelligible
background voices)
812
00:58:02,813 --> 00:58:06,784
Where are we going?
This way. Where are we going?
813
00:58:06,817 --> 00:58:12,623
(unintelligible voices...
laughter)
814
00:58:17,862 --> 00:58:20,931
Inside the theater everything
is bright and beautiful,
815
00:58:20,965 --> 00:58:23,934
lights, and costumes,
performance.
816
00:58:23,968 --> 00:58:27,638
You are, you are in a
magical world.
817
00:58:27,672 --> 00:58:32,142
and in a very happy world.
And then you go outside
818
00:58:32,176 --> 00:58:36,947
and everything is like
dreary and dull...it's reality.
819
00:58:55,332 --> 00:58:57,968
(background voices)
Quiet!
820
00:58:58,002 --> 00:59:00,938
Good discipline on the stage,
please.
821
00:59:00,971 --> 00:59:03,173
On the stage, don't talk.
822
00:59:03,207 --> 00:59:05,876
Thank you, thank you
everyone. We're so happy
823
00:59:05,910 --> 00:59:09,213
This is the culmination
of many weeks of work.
824
00:59:09,246 --> 00:59:12,617
You need to know exactly
where your marks are
825
00:59:12,650 --> 00:59:15,586
Where you need to be
on the stage.... shhhhh.
826
00:59:15,620 --> 00:59:19,223
And use these performance
times to really perform
827
00:59:19,256 --> 00:59:21,759
And not just mark it
and run through because
828
00:59:21,792 --> 00:59:24,695
because if you wait until
performance to perform,
829
00:59:24,729 --> 00:59:26,296
You won't really be ready.
830
00:59:26,330 --> 00:59:29,734
*
831
00:59:29,767 --> 00:59:33,170
Each individual who dances
a role brings something
832
00:59:33,203 --> 00:59:36,106
completely different
and unique to it.
833
00:59:36,140 --> 00:59:39,710
So it's not that you're doing
the same old ballet.
834
00:59:39,744 --> 00:59:43,213
you have a different energy,
you have a different feeling.
835
00:59:43,247 --> 00:59:46,350
Each person is unique and
each performance is unique.
836
00:59:46,383 --> 00:59:49,186
When you have a group,
you must follow each other.
837
00:59:49,219 --> 00:59:52,757
You have to follow the lines
otherwise all your work,
838
00:59:52,790 --> 00:59:55,192
all our work is nothing.
839
00:59:55,225 --> 00:59:57,728
Look at each other.
Look across.
840
00:59:59,263 --> 01:00:02,199
The diagonals.
Here's blue and blue and
841
01:00:02,232 --> 01:00:04,902
blue and blue.
The red one is the center line.
842
01:00:04,935 --> 01:00:08,238
Hasmik. (unintelligible)
843
01:00:08,272 --> 01:00:11,041
It's beginning waltz girls,
girls make only like this.
844
01:00:11,075 --> 01:00:13,043
Little bit, yes... next.
845
01:00:13,077 --> 01:00:16,781
Ladies, men, only head.
No, no, no, only head.
846
01:00:16,814 --> 01:00:19,383
Like this.
Don't forget you placement.
847
01:00:19,416 --> 01:00:23,220
Alright... Don't forget.
848
01:00:27,057 --> 01:00:31,228
Oh my gosh! Think this
is a fire hazzard?
849
01:00:31,261 --> 01:00:32,730
I... uh... absolutely.
(laughter)
850
01:00:32,763 --> 01:00:34,899
One on top of another, after
another...
851
01:00:34,932 --> 01:00:37,067
We are at the computer.
We are about to start
852
01:00:37,101 --> 01:00:38,903
our first rehearsal.
853
01:00:38,936 --> 01:00:43,874
Face to face, like this.
Closer, closer.
854
01:00:43,908 --> 01:00:46,210
Curtain coming! Curtain coming!
855
01:00:46,243 --> 01:00:50,414
You face this way.
You in center... Cami... guys,
856
01:00:50,447 --> 01:00:53,217
listen me.
This is center, right?
857
01:00:53,250 --> 01:00:56,921
Close face for her
because is princess. This way.
858
01:00:56,954 --> 01:01:00,691
QUIET!
Alright, music. Start now.
859
01:01:00,725 --> 01:01:02,827
(PA) Music please start.
860
01:01:02,860 --> 01:01:06,931
*
861
01:01:06,964 --> 01:01:10,434
(PA) Yes, Tasha smile.
862
01:01:10,467 --> 01:01:14,705
(PA keeping beat)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
863
01:01:14,739 --> 01:01:18,943
(PA) Face this way, Fiona.
Keep going, keep going...
864
01:01:18,976 --> 01:01:28,018
*
865
01:01:28,052 --> 01:01:30,921
Be careful, be careful.
Check your spaces, girls.
866
01:01:30,955 --> 01:01:33,390
*
867
01:01:33,423 --> 01:01:36,961
(PA, unintelligible)
868
01:01:53,010 --> 01:01:56,881
Girls I have to move you up
a little bit. Right, this one.
869
01:01:56,914 --> 01:01:59,149
Ysa... Because they need to
cross in front right there.
870
01:02:05,489 --> 01:02:07,057
You will be right here.
871
01:02:10,961 --> 01:02:13,063
On this tape, like this wing,
you see this?
872
01:02:13,097 --> 01:02:17,201
There's like too much of
something in... (Laughs)
873
01:02:20,270 --> 01:02:23,540
(PA) Movement of props. Don't
be in anbody's way, mice.
874
01:02:23,573 --> 01:02:26,043
Go forward, go forward,
go forward.
875
01:02:26,076 --> 01:02:35,352
*
876
01:02:35,385 --> 01:02:39,890
(PA) Stay altogether...
is better.
877
01:02:39,924 --> 01:02:42,159
(PA) Go pliƩ!
878
01:02:42,192 --> 01:02:47,164
*
879
01:02:47,197 --> 01:02:53,237
Guys...
880
01:02:53,270 --> 01:02:57,341
Another boy, he's on entrance
so he pushes everybody back
881
01:02:57,374 --> 01:02:59,576
(director)
So you understand?
882
01:02:59,609 --> 01:03:02,279
Yeah, and I'm not an
entrance.
883
01:03:02,312 --> 01:03:07,017
Today I was just looking
forward to being an entrance.
884
01:03:10,354 --> 01:03:13,290
And my dad too was looking
forward to seeing me
885
01:03:13,323 --> 01:03:16,994
cuz I was so cute.
But today he can't see me.
886
01:03:18,295 --> 01:03:23,100
(director)
You still look cute. (sighs)
887
01:03:23,133 --> 01:03:27,471
Cast 2, the coda?
Yeah.
888
01:03:27,504 --> 01:03:30,074
Luis and Alex were
gonna do it but Alex
had a blister though
889
01:03:30,107 --> 01:03:31,942
(director)
I know, it's huge.
890
01:03:31,976 --> 01:03:34,578
So yeah, so they...
Hasmik just told me on
the side, Just do it.
891
01:03:34,611 --> 01:03:36,947
I know, I put my costume
downstairs.
892
01:03:36,981 --> 01:03:39,083
So I ran out and
got sewn in
to my costume.
893
01:03:39,116 --> 01:03:50,427
*
894
01:03:50,460 --> 01:03:53,998
(PA) No, to your right, Ava
Yes.
895
01:03:54,031 --> 01:04:03,207
*
896
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,176
(PA) Ava you look like
you're chewing something. Smile.
897
01:04:09,947 --> 01:04:11,515
(PA) Ava, turn your
back leg out.
898
01:04:11,548 --> 01:04:16,320
Here. Hands to hands, hold.
See, you have big space here,
899
01:04:16,353 --> 01:04:19,189
Move! move. Stay here.
900
01:04:19,223 --> 01:04:22,159
Move back. Show them this is
how you stay. Stop. Like this.
901
01:04:26,363 --> 01:04:28,298
Please... uh, music.
902
01:04:28,332 --> 01:04:32,903
*
903
01:04:32,937 --> 01:04:36,373
Go, go, go, up. Hands to hands,
hands to hands, hands to hands.
904
01:04:36,406 --> 01:04:41,045
Everybody forward, forward.
Boys move back.
905
01:04:41,078 --> 01:04:46,383
Boys move back, boys move back.
BOYS MOVE BACK!
906
01:04:46,416 --> 01:04:49,019
You're not boys!
907
01:04:51,255 --> 01:04:54,658
Boys move back. Stay girls.
STAY, STAY, STAY, STAY, please!
908
01:04:54,691 --> 01:05:02,232
Stay, stay... step, 1, 2, 3, 4
One more time. Go back.
909
01:05:02,266 --> 01:05:05,235
The curtain is coming in,
everybody out of the way.
910
01:05:11,341 --> 01:05:13,443
But I really need more
rehearsal.
911
01:05:13,477 --> 01:05:16,113
Cuz we had a really bad
rehearsal yesterday.
912
01:05:16,146 --> 01:05:18,949
(director)
That's good, it's good luck.
I heard it was good luck.
913
01:05:21,151 --> 01:05:26,991
So usually for breakfast I eat
apples with peanut butter.
914
01:05:27,024 --> 01:05:30,594
Also either like bagels
or bread or brioche.
915
01:05:31,628 --> 01:05:33,697
So uI usually just eat like at
applsunny side up eggs. r.
916
01:05:33,730 --> 01:05:35,232
And then toast.
917
01:05:35,265 --> 01:05:37,401
I drink... tea.
918
01:05:37,434 --> 01:05:39,103
But like, the nerves are just
like, getting to me. Like I
919
01:05:39,136 --> 01:05:42,439
really don't wanna...
it's just... scary.
920
01:05:42,472 --> 01:05:43,573
(director)
Right before performance,
do you have to run
921
01:05:43,607 --> 01:05:45,575
to the bathroom?
922
01:05:45,609 --> 01:05:48,745
Well, in New York actually
this year, I was, I had to
923
01:05:48,778 --> 01:05:52,416
go pee really badly but I
couldn't because I was sewn in.
924
01:05:52,449 --> 01:05:54,284
Cuz competitions we're sewn in
and then obviously like,
925
01:05:54,318 --> 01:05:56,020
when you're nervous you
have to go pee. So like,
926
01:05:56,053 --> 01:05:58,555
'Til you're on stage and you
don't have to pee anymore.
927
01:05:58,588 --> 01:06:00,624
It's... horrible.
928
01:06:00,657 --> 01:06:04,728
It's bad. There were a couple of
extra little hops. Yeah.
929
01:06:04,761 --> 01:06:07,564
I woke up at 10.
(director)
And you got up when?
930
01:06:07,597 --> 01:06:12,236
Like just now, 10 minutes ago.
I just rolled him out of bed.
931
01:06:12,269 --> 01:06:18,475
(laughs, coughs)
You're dying, man. (laughs)
932
01:06:18,508 --> 01:06:21,511
Oh, man, I have more
than just one mosquito bite.
933
01:06:21,545 --> 01:06:24,481
(laughing) Ha, ha
You're counting them?
934
01:06:36,060 --> 01:06:39,429
By the way, is this normal?
(gasp) Holy shhhhh.
935
01:06:39,463 --> 01:06:42,032
I wasn't kidding when I said I..
(director)
Those are spider bites, Adam.
936
01:06:42,066 --> 01:06:44,568
Yeah.
Oh my gosh, what do we do?
937
01:06:44,601 --> 01:06:49,106
Dude! You are
something else, man.
938
01:06:49,139 --> 01:06:51,375
(director)
You need an anti-inflamatory.
Oh...God.
939
01:06:51,408 --> 01:06:53,343
Let's go do my stuff
before we leave.
940
01:06:53,377 --> 01:06:55,079
(director)
Okay, alright.
941
01:06:58,682 --> 01:07:01,551
Today I might be a little more
nervous cuz of my back.
942
01:07:01,585 --> 01:07:05,289
But I felt okay, you know, I
felt bad up until I got onstage
943
01:07:05,322 --> 01:07:07,724
for tarantella and then
I could move again. And then
944
01:07:07,757 --> 01:07:10,394
I got off stage and I felt bad
again. So, I assume
945
01:07:10,427 --> 01:07:15,399
adrenaline will help.
I love ballet while I do it
946
01:07:15,432 --> 01:07:20,604
and I love it so much
you know, but it doesn't really
947
01:07:20,637 --> 01:07:25,775
hold the intellectual nutrients
yeah, the nutrients That I
948
01:07:25,809 --> 01:07:29,746
need to feel, you know, full.
I want to end up
949
01:07:29,779 --> 01:07:33,117
doing contemporary by the end
of it all. Where I don't have to
950
01:07:33,150 --> 01:07:35,585
break my body anymore
but I can still dance.
951
01:07:35,619 --> 01:07:37,287
(director)
Did you ever think you'd be
putting makeup on your son
952
01:07:37,321 --> 01:07:38,755
Denise?
No, never.
953
01:07:38,788 --> 01:07:42,226
I never...wanted this.
954
01:07:42,259 --> 01:07:44,561
We had to make him do it
the first few times.
955
01:07:44,594 --> 01:07:47,231
I don't like it at all.
It's so tedius and...
956
01:07:48,798 --> 01:07:51,768
Hasmik does it for me
when she's with me
957
01:07:51,801 --> 01:07:53,870
and she does a really
good job but it's like,
958
01:07:53,903 --> 01:07:55,772
she does it like,
Armenian style, like
959
01:07:55,805 --> 01:07:57,874
"Open it! Open it!"
960
01:07:57,907 --> 01:08:02,312
Eli says, "Hi". (laughs)
Eli.
961
01:08:02,346 --> 01:08:05,315
(director)
You're done with your makeup?
Yeah.
962
01:08:05,349 --> 01:08:07,817
(director)
You sound nervous.
963
01:08:07,851 --> 01:08:11,821
I mean like, I think I know
I can do it. It's just the heel.
964
01:08:11,855 --> 01:08:13,390
I'm really scared for that.
965
01:08:13,423 --> 01:08:15,359
And also,
I always get nervous.
966
01:08:19,896 --> 01:08:24,801
It's a home made medicine.
It's crushed Tylenol.
967
01:08:24,834 --> 01:08:28,205
Like, pain reliever
so it doesn't hurt right now.
968
01:08:28,238 --> 01:08:30,340
She's just, you know,
a little bit concerned.
969
01:08:30,374 --> 01:08:33,377
Cuz everyone was saying
they're under rehearsed.
970
01:08:33,410 --> 01:08:37,647
This is, this is my concern,
oh my gosh.
971
01:08:37,681 --> 01:08:41,185
Like I think I'm gonna cry
cuz I'm so nervous. (laughs)
972
01:08:41,651 --> 01:08:51,695
*
973
01:08:51,695 --> 01:08:56,666
*
974
01:08:58,868 --> 01:09:01,371
Beef or chicken?
Oh my God, you didn't even
975
01:09:01,405 --> 01:09:03,573
make it to
dinner last night
I know. did you?
976
01:09:03,607 --> 01:09:08,412
(unintelligible voices)
977
01:09:09,746 --> 01:09:13,250
I'm not dressed!
Why are you making it small?
978
01:09:13,283 --> 01:09:14,884
Guys we have very little time
right now.
979
01:09:14,918 --> 01:09:17,787
and I have to get through a lot.
We're not gonna do the red dots.
980
01:09:17,821 --> 01:09:22,292
We're only doing the dress,

See mine's on the right lane

1001
01:10:38,968 --> 01:10:40,970
It's just the backstage
you know, cuz from the

01:10:41,004 --> 01:10:43,573
front it's so organized.
Number after number.
1003
01:10:43,607 --> 01:10:45,442
From the side it's chaos.
1004
01:10:45,475 --> 01:10:46,710
So, at least to me
it looks like chaos.

There was someone not in it
and then they put
1059
01:21:29,385 --> 01:21:31,687
an extra person in
so in the last line there was
1060
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:33,622
one extra person.
So I didn't have a space.
1061

Ughhh,
That did not go well.
1063
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:38,461
Everyone was out there except
us and then we
1064
01:21:38,494 --> 01:21:40,930
ran out really late.
1065
01:21:40,964 --> 01:21:44,000
We got shoved out
and then we had no choice.
1066
01:21:44,033 --> 01:21:46,169
I'd rather not
even go out there.
1067

1164
01:35:11,373 --> 01:35:21,383

1165
01:36:32,287 --> 01:36:42,330
(hip hop Nutcracker music track
through to end)
1166
01:36:42,364 --> 01:36:45,000
What do you say
when somebody
did something good?
1167
01:36:48,937 --> 01:36:50,072
Goodt.
(with Russian accent)
1168
01:36:50,105 --> 01:36:51,373
(director)
Say good the way
Marat says it.
1169
01:36:51,406 --> 01:36:52,540
Goodt.

1170
01:36:52,574 --> 01:36:55,110
Goodt.
1171
01:36:56,278 --> 01:36:59,081
Goodt.
1172
01:37:00,182 --> 01:37:00,983
Goodt.
1173
01:37:01,917 --> 01:37:02,851
Goodt.
1174
01:37:03,318 --> 01:37:04,352
Goodt.
1175
01:37:04,386 --> 01:37:06,054
There ya go.

1176
01:37:07,389 --> 01:37:08,490

01:37:08,523 --> 01:37:10,092
Goodt.
Wery good.
1178
01:37:10,125 --> 01:37:12,861
And he was like,
"Spot centah!
Spot centah!"
1179
01:37:12,895 --> 01:37:15,463
And everyone
thought he said,
"Spot Santa".
1180
01:37:15,497 --> 01:37:17,165
Goodt, geels.
1181
01:37:17,199 --> 01:37:19,467
Geels! Look at the
Aow-dee-ence!
1182
01:37:19,501 --> 01:37:21,169
Geels. Geels.
1183
01:37:21,203 --> 01:37:23,171
Boy. Boy. Boy!
1184
01:37:23,205 --> 01:37:25,007
Goodt.
1185
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,509
He says it
like this,
Goodt.
1186
01:37:27,542 --> 01:37:30,412
Goodt. Goodt.
Goodt.
1187
01:37:32,180 --> 01:37:34,016
It's racist,
though.
1188
01:37:34,049 --> 01:37:36,218
Goodt.Goodt.
(director)
We got you. We got you.
1189
01:37:36,251 --> 01:37:41,323
Goodt.
1190
01:37:41,356 --> 01:37:42,224
Goodt.

1191
01:37:42,257 --> 01:37:45,160
Da. Da.
Da. Da.
1192
01:37:45,193 --> 01:37:48,096
Or he'll just
say, uh...
"Yes."
1193
01:37:48,931 --> 01:37:51,166
He doesn't say
"Good."
1194
01:37:51,199 --> 01:37:53,035
No goodt.
No goodt.
1195
01:37:53,068 --> 01:37:54,002
No goodt.
1196
01:37:54,036 --> 01:37:56,571
It's not true.
It's not true.
1197
01:37:56,604 --> 01:38:00,342
He says,
"Wery goodt,
for today."
1198
01:38:03,578 --> 01:38:05,413
Not how he
says it.
1199
01:38:06,114 --> 01:38:08,116
Goodt.
1200
01:38:08,150 --> 01:38:09,451
(laughter)
1201
01:38:09,484 --> 01:38:12,254
If they, they did
goodt, it's goodt.
Understand?
1202
01:38:12,287 --> 01:38:16,524
They did goodt,
it's goodt.

1203
01:38:16,558 --> 01:38:18,393

1204
01:38:18,426 --> 01:38:23,999

1205
01:40:24,652 --> 01:40:29,657
