Mikhail Baryshnikov and Ossie Davis perform at a gala for Eliot Feld's Ballet Tech. All works are choreographed by Feld, who begins the program with an introduction of Baryshnikov in the premiere performance of "Mr. XYZ". Davis narrates during "Lincoln Portrait". Visual quality fine. Several works seem to repeat, but are presented at two separate camera focus lengths.
Mr XYZ (Eliot Feld, choreographer; Allen Lee Hughes, lighting designer; Leon Redbone, performer) -- Variations on America (Eliot Feld, choreographer; Thomas R. Skelton, lighting designer; Willa Kim, costume designer; Charles Ives, William Schuman, composers) -- Lincoln Portrait (Eliot Feld, choreographer; Allen Lee Hughes, lighting designer; Mirena Rada, costume designer; Aaron Copland, composer) -- Tongue and Groove (Eliot Feld, choreographer; Neil Peter Jampolis, lighting designer; Steve Reich, composer; Alan Pierson, Jason Treuting, performers) -- Mushugana Dance (Eliot Feld, choreographer; Allen Lee Hughes, lighting designer; Michael Krass, costume designer) -- Endsong (Eliot Feld, choreographer; Allen Lee Hughes, lighting designer; Willa Kim, costume designer)
