A Message from VP of Programming and Co-Artistic Director of FilmColumbia Peter Biskind

The Crandell is now open with a Thursday through Sunday schedule reflecting changes in the movie industry and viewing habits exacerbated by closures caused by the pandemic. By showing a variety of films from different distributors and independents, the Crandell can offer a greater variety of movies and thus continue to serve a wide spectrum of the community. Additionally, the Crandell will have the opportunity to experiment Monday-Wednesday with mini-festivals and topical programming including seasonal features as well as films by celebrated directors. “We like the flexibility this new schedule provides.” Biskind says, “We are all anxious to get back into the theater!”

Opening the door to his studio, Balanchine’s private laboratory, they reveal new facets of the groundbreaking choreographer: task master, mad scientist, and spiritual teacher. Today, as his former dancers teach a new generation, questions arise: what was the secret of his teaching? Can it be replicated?
