Watch the recording of a live Google interview of Atlanta Ballet Resident Choreographer Helen Pickett by Encore Atlanta's Kristi Casey Sanders.

"Atlanta Ballet dancers are going to be commenting on dreaming. Helen Pickett is going to be immersed in existentialism, that’s her interest right now. Then we have Jorma Elo using the music of Jean Sibelius. Of course, he’s Finnish, and what a great work that is. It should be a pretty interesting evening." - ArtsATL
