Suzanne Farrell is one of the finest ballerinas of the 20th century, and founder of the Suzanne Farrell Ballet at the Kennedy Center in DC. She joins us to talk about how she recreated the lost Balanchine ballet of "Pithoprakta." Elisabeth Holowchuk is dancing the lead role in "Pithoprakta" at the Fall for Dance Festival; she’s the first dancer to do so since Farrell herself last danced the lead role in 1968.
