Summary

1. Bruce Marks, artistic director of the Boston Ballet, looks back on some high points of his 47 years in dance: his training at the High School of Performing Arts (where his classmates included Edward Villella and Robert Joffrey) and The Juilliard School ; his performing experience with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and the Royal Danish Ballet ; his directorships of Ballet West and the Boston Ballet. He presents a synopsis of John Cranko's ballet Eugene Onegin, currently being performed by the Boston Ballet, and discusses his proudest achievements at Boston Ballet, the company's upcoming productions, and his plans for the future, including two books he is writing. In interviews taped in the Boston Ballet's studios, two company members talk about their dance training and experience. Marjorie Grundvig, who dances the role of Olga, also discusses her interpretation of the character. Devon Carney, who dances both the title role and Prince Gremin, also discusses the dancer's need for a life outside the studio, and forethought about a future after performing. Both are seen in studio rehearsals of Eugene Onegin ; Carney is also seen in performance as Prince Gremin, partnering Larissa Ponomarenko as Tatiana.
