Each is intimately involved in the development of Justin Peck\u2019s Copland Dance Episodes, NYCB\u2019s first non-narrative, evening-length work since Balanchine\u2019s 1967 piece Jewels. As Baldwin, Chan, and Hall relate, the experience of taking part in this momentous creation is one rich with the beauty and distinctly American qualities of Copland\u2019s music, and the sense of unfettered humanity and community in Peck\u2019s choreographic process.
