Jerome Robbins Documentary Part 1

[@AdorableDanger]

I have a dance essay due in for FDA Musical Theater and this little series of videos has helped so much! I love the way you put this together.

[@AstroBuoyant]

Gratitude & appreciation to Robbins. Interesting how his adjacent Choreographer Ballenchine choreographed in a more spontaneous method, the choreography just flowed out of the prolific Ballenchine. Robbins often tortured himself over each detail for months. Different processes, both with Genius, True Genius results.

Pure genius: one of a kind. R.I.P. Mr. Robbins.

This looks like a GREAT doc, Damian! Thank you so much for putting this together. I saw clip #4 about "Fiddler on the Roof" and was really impressed, so now I have to see the whole thing!!

It's sad that she passed away on the opening night of Fiddler on the roof.

I found it (and all the other clips) here on KZbin. Search for "Susan Stroman Jerome Robbins" and you should find it!

Hey Damian, Corps, is pronounced Kor, "members of a ballet/dance company."

This is so fun!

I absolutely love you D. jessie

[@MrCrowebobby]

But will we ever know how much of his work was his and how much was that of an assistant, who signed a contract, stating he could never claim any credit for his own work?! I am thinking of Peter Gennaro and West Side Story.

"I didn't see you there" Classic lol

[@212nich]

So was Gene Kelly’s own choreo greatly influenced by Jerry?

[@brwneyesaz]

Ya just blew it! The word is spelled CORPS, but it's French and pronounced CORE. Not CORPSE!
