Summary
  1. Episodes, the historic two-part collaboration by Martha Graham and George Balanchine, is discussed by former Graham dancer Ethel Winter, a member of the original cast, and New York City Ballet dancers Bart Cook and Peter Frame. Winter recounts her memories of the original production, and Cook and Frame discuss the revival of Paul Taylor's solo in Balanchine's portion of the work. The guests also discuss changing attitudes towards ballet and modern dance, technical and other differences between the two forms (e.g., use of the back, male dancing, sex roles), and the increased opportunities for dancers to "cross over" offered by programs such as Patsy Tarr's Dance Chance concert series. Dance excerpts depict Cook's Rondo, danced by Jeffrey Edwards and Zippora Karz of the New York City Ballet; Gina Buntz's Chipped worlds, which Cook performed with Dance Chance; and Cook's Gershwin preludes, danced by Sean Savoye and Myrna Kamara. In conclusion, Frame demonstrates movements and poses from Taylor's solo in Episodes.
