Summary
Ron Cameron, production manager of the Boston Ballet, describes the process of mounting a ballet, in general and in the specific case of Ben Stevenson's Dracula, originally created for the Houston Ballet. Dracula, a particularly elaborate production, involved numerous special effects, pyrotechnics, and flying by the dancers. In interviews taped on location, dancers Reagan Messer, Yuri Yanowsky, and Pollyana Ribeiro talk about their dance training and background, and recall their personal experiences in working on Dracula. Scenes from the ballet are seen in studio and dress rehearsals. Also appearing in rehearsal and performance footage: Adriana Suárez, Zachary Hench. Choreographer Ben Stevenson is glimpsed in rehearsal footage.
