Inspired by Steven Caras' extraordinary career in the world of dance, Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Deborah Novak and John Witek have chronicled his remarkable life and story in an hour-long PBS documentary entitled, Steven Caras: See Them Dance. National airing is scheduled for March of 2011.
In intimate detail, Caras candidly shares professional and personal anecdotes and milestones, from his difficult childhood to his days as a dancer with the New York City ballet under the mentorship of the legendary George Balanchine to the often bumpy path he courageously continued on, leading to a luminous career as the foremost dance photographer of our time. Through the mosaic of his breathtaking prints, Caras reveals much of the ballet dancer's world onstage and in rehearsal throughout the film, in tandem with compelling interviews with numerous dance icons, including Jacques d'Amboise, Patricia McBride, Mia Michaels, Kay Mazzo, Peter Martins, Allegra Kent, Sean Lavery, Elizabeth Streb, Gary Chryst, Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux and Peter Boal among many others.
“Steven Caras has had a profound impact on dance in America. You will see this come to life in his brilliant photographs and hear it through the voices of the world‘s greatest dancers.”
--Deborah Novak, Director, Steven Caras: See Them Dance.
Arizona PBS, located in Phoenix, will present the program to the national public television audience.
