The time Twyla Tharp setup a performance in Central Park
Season 35
Episode 3
About the Episode
Archival footage shows one of Twyla Tharp's dances in Central Park amongst football games, bicyclists, police on horseback, and picnickers. The location made it impossible to have a separation between audience members and performers. And Tharp learned some valuable things about choreography and distance from the experience.
