The Turning: Room of Mirrors
In every ballet studio, there is a wall of mirrors. It reflects the people within. They’re part of a closed, elite group that asks for sacrifice and devotion from its members. This insular community produces iconic artists. It’s founded on a strict power structure, often with one man at the top. By tracing the origins of this unusual lifestyle, starting with the legacy of choreographer George Balanchine and the intimate stories of young dancers, we expose the beauty of an artform and the complexity of ballet culture.

“In it’s breadth and humanity, historical scope and emotional impact, it’s a beautifully done, rigorously researched and well-crafted piece that I’m surprised I hadn’t heard of. Definitely give it a listen.”
