Summary
Unedited footage of an interview with dancer William Carter as he prepares to dance the role of Don Quixote. Seen in his dressing room as he makes up, he discusses his characterization with the interviewer and Alexander Minz, who alternated in the role. The interview is followed by backstage scenes showing dancers and stagehands preparing for a performance. Performance excerpts, filmed from the wings, show Kirkland and Baryshnikov in the Act III pas de deux and in sequences from Act I. There are occasional gaps in the soundtrack and a section of sound without image.
