Summary
This program includes a panel discussion and performances of two dances inspired by Pablo Picasso's art. The choreographers each discuss the specific sources of their inspiration, including, for Lustig, Picasso's circus paintings and, for Faison, the canvas Three musicians. They also talk about the process of bringing the paintings to life through dance, and the creation of costumes for the works. Faison and Brown discuss their collaboration on the music for Metamorphosis: Picasso's dream.
