“Unlike scripts for plays or scores for symphonies, ballets have no physical record for choreography. This is a relatively new concern for the dance world. Coming into the 21st century and losing many of the choreographers – the great geniuses of the 20th century – made it more apparent to us that we must conserve our heritage and do everything in our power to pass that legacy on to the next generation. Financed through a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the project will attempt to preserve all aspects of a ballet.”
