A short documentary on architect Santiago Calatrava's work with the New York City Ballet for their "Architecture of Dance" Season.
This piece opened NYCB's Spring Gala at Lincoln Center, where Mr. and Mrs. Calatrava were the event chairs, followed by ballet premieres by Benjamin Millepied and Alexi Ratmansky, and was also played at the beginning of every performance featuring a ballet with designs by Calatrava.
We also used footage from this project to create a 30 second spot for the ballet, which appeared on Time Warner Cable, Taxi TV, and online.
