This film features six dancers, who at the height of their powers were among the world's most praised artists. Thanks to the vision of Jiri Kylian of Netherlands Dance Theatre III, these superb dancers have been able to continue their careers beyond the age of forty. Their remarkable performances break all stereotypes of the older dancer. These articulate men and women feel that wisdom and experience gives a depth to their performance that is out of the reach of the younger dancer. Their appreciative audiences worldwide have been touched by their spirituality and expressiveness. Among the performers featured are Karen Kain, National Dance Theater of Canada; Gary Cryst, protégé of Nureyev; Jeanne Solan, former dancer with the Harkness Ballet and collaborator of George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. Here is a film not just for dance afficionados, but for all those who need confirmation that aging need not diminish their capabilities, but may even enhance them.
