FREE:
New York City Ballet will perform an adaptation of “NY Export: Opus Jazz” by the legendary choreographer Jerome Robbins, in McCarren Park Pool on Thursday, September 10th, from 5-7:30 pm at McCarren Park Pool (Lorimer between Driggs and Bayard). Set to a rousing jazz score, the movements blend ballet, jazz, and ballroom dancing with Latin, African and American rhythms, to create a style that is powerfully expressive, sexy and contemporary.

Directors Henry Joost and Jody Lee Lipes are filming the “ballet in sneakers” for premier as part of Channel 13′s Great Performances/Dance in America series. This is the first of Robbins’ works to be adapted for the screen since West Side Story.

The event is FREE. Of course, we welcome your tax-deductible donations to help OSA continue to improve North Brooklyn’s parks: http://www.osanb.org

This is awesome news! I discovered Opus Jazz while doing a project on Jerome Robbins for school and fell in love with Passage for Two. The backdrop for the film makes it so stunning. I think they showed a few excerpts when PBS ran the American Masters series on Robbins, but I can’t wait to see more!
