This looks like a GREAT doc, Damian! Thank you so much for putting this together. I saw clip #4 about "Fiddler on the Roof" and was really impressed, so now I have to see the whole thing!!
Gratitude & appreciation to Robbins. Interesting how his adjacent Choreographer Ballenchine choreographed in a more spontaneous method, the choreography just flowed out of the prolific Ballenchine. Robbins often tortured himself over each detail for months. Different processes, both with Genius, True Genius results.
But will we ever know how much of his work was his and how much was that of an assistant, who signed a contract, stating he could never claim any credit for his own work?! I am thinking of Peter Gennaro and West Side Story.
I have a dance essay due in for FDA Musical Theater and this little series of videos has helped so much! I love the way you put this together.

Pure genius: one of a kind. R.I.P. Mr. Robbins.
A very well done introduction. Thank you for creating this.
Hey Damian, Corps, is pronounced Kor, "members of a ballet/dance company."
his older sister, sonia, was my great grandmother
no way
@@thomasstaes3703 yes.
It's sad that she passed away on the opening night of Fiddler on the roof.
I found it (and all the other clips) here on RUclips. Search for "Susan Stroman Jerome Robbins" and you should find it!
do you have any video of Goldberg Variations? i would like to see this ballet.
I absolutely love you D. jessie
This is so fun!
So was Gene Kelly’s own choreo greatly influenced by Jerry?
