This week, the two-part conversation between Hear the Dance host Silas Farley and dance historian Jennifer Homans continues. They discuss Lincoln Kirstein's essential role as a collaborator with Balanchine, the creation of Serenade, and some of the key personal and artistic moments in the ongoing history of the New York City Ballet. Homans traces the development of the Company's ethos through the individual dancers' devotion to Balanchine's vision and to the art form; Balanchine's presence, she describes, was an irresistible force.

In this first part of a special Hear the Dance episode, host and former NYCB Dancer Silas Farley is joined by dance scholar Jennifer Homans to discuss her recently published biography, "Mr. B: George Balanchine's 20th Century.” Homans describes how her own background as a dancer—including as a student at the School of American Ballet in the 1970s—and a return to Balanchine's works while facing personal loss inspired her lasting interest in the Company's founding choreographer. Farley and Homans dig into Balanchine's Georgian upbringing, the way the hardship and uncertainty of his years in Russia and France shaped his vocabulary, and the spirituality that infuses both his approach to the creative process and to the ballets he choreographed themselves.

Over ten years in the making, Jennifer Homans's treatise on choreographer George Balanchine introduces us to this complicated artist in a light not heretofore shown. With Lincoln Kerstein, Balanchine created the School of American Ballet, and then the New York City Ballet.One cannot study Balanchine without studying Russian history, at least immediately preceding the Revolution up to the early 80s.  In her Mr. B: George Balanchine's 20th Century,  Jennifer touches all bases.  Jennifer probably could not have written such thorough biography had she not been a professional dancer herself.  She is currently the dance critic at The New Yorker.She was a joy to chat with.

George Balanchine is one of the most revered and influential choreographers of the twentieth century. In this first major biography about his life Jennifer Homans offers an intimate portrait of the man who co-founded the New York City Ballet and brought the art form so spectacularly into the modern age. She explores his life and legacy, revealing a complicated genius who was inspired to choreograph dances from subjects as diverse as Spinoza's philosophy to Orthodox icons, disrupting the norms of ballet and pushing the dancers into creative worlds of abstraction. Wayne McGregor is a contemporary titan of the dance world. He has just returned from Toronto where his ballet based on Margaret Atwood's post-apocalyptic book, MADDADDAM, had its world premiere in a joint production for The Royal Ballet and the National Ballet of Canada. Wayne McGregor's own dance company is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary and since its inception has been the experimental and creative forum for Wayne's innovative choreographic style. Ballet Black was founded by Cassa Pancho just over twenty years ago in response to the lack of racial diversity in ballet and offers dancers of Black and Asian descent a platform to showcase their talents. The company has gone from strength to strength, continually overturning stereotypes and transforming the landscape of classical dance. In March 2023 the company will perform ‘Pioneers' at the Barbican, comprising new and original work by award-winning choreographers Will Tuckett and Mthuthuzeli November. Producer: Natalia Fernandez Music credits: Wayne McGregor's MADDADDAM, Act 1 (except), original score by Max Richter. A co-production between the National Ballet of Canada and The Royal Ballet, inspired by the trilogy by Margaret Atwood. ‘Then or Now'. (ballet choreographed by Will Tuckett.
