Description
1 videodisc (NTSC) (95 min.) : sd., col.; 4 3/4 in.
Summary
This program focuses on two new dance pieces choreographed by Robert La Fosse. The first 30 minutes of the full-length ballet Osiris are presented, followed by a panel discussion in which participants discuss the application of a directorial concept and use of singers in ballet, the casting of the work, its theme of regeneration, and designing costumes for dance. Following the discussion, the four-part Pas de deux is presented as a work in progress, with La Fosse asking for choreographic input from the audience.
