David Bintley

Synopsis

This programme follows the gifted British choreographer at work on two of his ballets, and shows the evolution of the pieces through rehearsal sequences. The first, Choros, is an abstract piece set to music by Aubrey Meyer, and the second, Metamorphosis, is based on Kafka's terrifying story of the man who wakes up to find he has turned into a huge beetle. Bintley is also seen preparing to dance the role of Petrushka in the Fokine classic.
