Create a Watch Party! Here are four free offerings from New York City’s most celebrated arts organizations to share with your students and their families.
New York City Ballet
Excerpt of Christopher Wheeldon’s This Bitter Earth performed by Sara Mearns and Adrian Danchig-Waring.
“Words cannot fully capture the beauty or essence of this moving pas de deux, but for me it speaks to our times,” says Wendy Whelan, who originated Mearns’ role when the ballet premiered in 2012. “It honors where we have come from and the challenges we face moving forward into the unknown. The choreography inspires reflection from both its performers and audience and I hope, for you, conveys a peaceful sense of hope for the future.”
