:54:03
At the beginning of the piece
we've got the storyteller...
:54:07
and the whole piece is like
stepping into a children's book.
:54:11
So instead of opening the book
once he's done his opening solo...
:54:18
the mouth of the snake opens
and the piece starts.
:54:21
We have the zebra characters,
they are in black and white...
:54:25
sort of representing the dualism
of the world that we live in.
:54:29
And they come out like holding
hands and do a circle dance.
:54:35
We enter into section two,
the mouth of the snake reopens...
:54:40
we're into the red section,
the monkeys are coming out.
:54:45
The whole piece is done sort
of in primal colors.
:54:49
It's all very kind of fun
and very colorful.
:54:53
And we go through a solo for
a female balloon head...
:54:56
expressing sort of again
the joy of the child...
:54:59
and eventually we come to this
finale which has the giant.
:55:04
You still have a way to go
with your line.
:55:07
And you also need to work on your
allegro, especially Mr. A's allegro.
:55:11
I love allegro. If you can dance
allegro, you can dance anything.
:55:16
If you're an allegro dancer,
there's nothing you can't do.
:55:19
They're in love with the
lyricism and all that.
:55:26
But you know what I call them?
Phony ballet. I hate it.
:55:33
I fight with these guys
all the time.
:55:36
I wanted you. I wanted Ry for
Snow pas, right?
:55:39
Yes you did.
:55:40
- You went out and she aced it.
- Yes she did.
:55:45
Mark didn't want her for
Nellie Ely.
:55:47
Then he saw her in rehearsals.
She was fantastic.
:55:51
I know whereof I speak.
Edouard, yes?
:55:55
- Mayor's office in 20 minutes.
- I'll be right there.
