John Neumeier - A Life for Dance
On June 30, ARTE will be showing the documentary film: "John Neumeier – A Life for Dance". John Neumeier looks back on more than 60 years of dance: first as a ballet dancer, then as a choreographer and later as artistic director of the Hamburg Ballet. The end of his artistic directorship provides an opportunity for an intimate portrait in which John Neumeier embarks on a journey into his past. (June 30, 10.50 pm, available in the ARTE-Mediathek until September 27). On the same evening at 11.45 pm, ARTE will be broadcasting John Neumeier's ballet "The Glass Menagerie" with the Hamburg Ballet and guest star Alina Cojocaru in the leading role.
