PPP Fridays@2: A Screening of Ballerina Boys, a History of Les Ballets Trockadero

The Performance as Public Practice Fridays@2 colloquium series facilitates discussions about the creation and study of performance. PPP welcomes artists from within and beyond the Winship Drama Building, including current students, distinguished alumni and arts leaders from across the country, to share their research and methodology. Kicking off the spring semester is a screening of the documentary Ballerina Boys, exploring the history of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo.

Ballerina Boys was originally created for the PBS American Masters series. As Misty Copeland observed: “Ballerina Boys isn’t just a beautifully documented history of the groundbreaking Les Ballets Trockadero, it’s a reflection of the ballet world. All that ballet has been, is and should strive to be.”
