Behind The Scenes: Costume Director Leonor Texidor
In the evening I volunteered to do the costumes for a street theater group, and there I learned how to make something out of nothing and how to observe the way fabrics move, and how the director and the actors work.

Dancer's Story - Annier Navarro
Behind the Scenes with Ib Andersen: "All Balanchine"

Dancer's Story: Natalia Magnicaballi
For years, audiences have been watching me on stage, as I bring to life characters from beautiful ballets, making them forget about their realities, transporting them to different worlds, making my steps look effortless and alive, but, sometimes, I wonder if they really know the meaning of what I do?
