Critic, writer, and editor Wendy Lesser guides a conversation about the work and life of Jerome Robbins. She is joined by Emily Coates, Kay Mazzo, and Edward Villella—dancers who all worked with Robbins at different points of his career. The event is in conjunction with the release of Lesser's book published by Yale University Press: Jerome Robbins, A Life in Dance, a lively and inspired biography celebrating the centennial of this master choreographer, dancer, and stage director.
