The Art of Partnering

The Art of Partnering™ explores the critical and indelible art of ballet partnering. Directed by Lourdes Lopez and co-produced with ballet icon Peter Martins, this project unveils the techniques, aesthetics, and artistry required for classical ballet partnering with a focus on the works of George Balanchine. Filmed at the world-renowned, New World Symphony over 30 hours of rehearsals were captured with 9 Ultra High Definition robotic controlled broadcast cameras and 2 Steadicams, creating an unprecedented 360-degree cinematic experience. As the first film project devoted solely to ballet partnering, it promises to redefine how audiences and artists engage with this intricate and under-explored art form.
