Tony Award winner and Resident Choreographer at New York City Ballet Justin Peck is also a celebrated director, filmmaker, and dancer. Hailed as a prodigy, Justin has created over 50 dance works with more than 20 for City Ballet alone, as well as collaborated with Stephen Spielberg. Alicia and Justin talk about the New Dances program at Juilliard, Justin's connection to music in his work, and why he finds the Anytune Pro app so valuable in creating new dances. He shares how his position at City Ballet allowed him to take greater risks in his career, the differences between choreographing for film and for the stage, and the importance of learning something new when taking on new commissions.
