But let’s step back a bit to a week before the show. It’s 2pm at the BalletNova Center for Dance in Falls Church, Virginia. We’re at an open rehearsal and privy to one of my favorite pastimes; the process! Observing how the sausage is made not only helps with context and appreciation, but it’s also a chance to see another side of a choreographer. In this case, it was two choreographers, both presenting world premier works.
