David at American Ballet Theatre

Through a reflective look at Godard's Contempt, Principal Dancer David Hallberg dances in isolation in David, a new film by Pam Tanowitz and Jeremy Jacob. Classical, modern, and quotidian vocabularies of dance are deconstructed and juxtaposed to make evident the tension between the external pose and the internal imaginary.

Crafted outdoors on Tanowitz's patio at her New York City apartment, David was created in collaboration with cinematographer Daniel Rampulla with costumes created by Reid Bartelme and Harriet Jung. It is set to music by Lawrence Baldwin and Luigi Boccherini and was filmed at the Pavilion in the Pond on the grounds of The Philip Johnson Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut.

ABT Today will also offer a preview of new works created by Lauren Lovette, Hope Boykin, and Amy Hall Garner for ABT Studio Company.
