Description of Pictures: Sleepy Hollow: Ballet and American Art
American Art is excited to collaborate with The Washington Ballet and artistic director Septime Webre for a production of Sleepy Hollow. Dancers perform never-before-seen excerpts from the upcoming world premiere of the full-length ballet based on Washington Irving’s classic ghost story. Between excerpts, Webre discusses the creation of the new ballet, costume and set design, and the link with American Art’s Hudson River school paintings. Finish the day with a scavenger hunt and a tour of the museum’s art that inspired the ballet.
