Summary
A look behind the scenes during the mounting of Mikhail Baryshnikov's full-length ballet Don Quixote, designed to give the viewer an idea of the preparation of a new ballet and an understanding of what it means to be a ballet dancer: the discipline and work in class, rehearsal, performance and on tour. Seen in performance and rehearsal are Mikhail Baryshnikov, Gelsey Kirkland, William Carter, John Prinz, Jonas Kage, Cynthia Gregory, and dancers of the American Ballet Theatre. There are brief interviews with Martin Feinstein, Executive Director of the Kennedy Center, where the ballet premiered; Cynthia Gregory; Lucia Chase; Hilda Morales; William Carter; John Meehan; Nanette Glushak; ballet master Jürgen Schneider; and the conductor John Lanchbery.
