Summary
  1. Telecast of a documentary, preceded by a short interview with Caroline Rocher of Dance Theatre of Harlem, and followed by a preview of coming events by Wendy Perron. Profile of Glen Tetley, dancer, choreographer and teacher, as told in his own words. The program centers on Tetley's restaging of his ballet Voluntaries for Het Nationale Ballet in Amsterdam at the invitation of artistic director Wayne Eagling, and there are numerous scenes of Tetley in rehearsal with the company. Tetley looks back on his long career, spanning ballet and modern dance, which began when Jerome Robbins engaged him to dance in the musical On the town. Film clips show him dancing an excerpt from John Butler's Carmina burana and the slip jig from Agnes de Mille's musical Juno. Tetley also discusses his many choreographic works, beginning with Pierrot lunaire (1962); his creations for Nederlands Dans Theater and Ballet Rambert; Field figures (1970) for the Royal Ballet; his collaborations with designers Nadine Baylis and Rouben Ter-Arutunian; his works for the National Ballet of Canada and other classical ballet companies. In scenes from his private life, he is seen at dinner with colleagues Eagling, Jaap Flier, Toer Van Schayk, Rudi Van Dantzig, and Augustus Van Heerden, and at home in his medieval tower in Spoleto, Italy, which he equates with the tower in Pierrot lunaire.
