Item description from seller

Original publisher's medium gray-blue paper wrappers with staple binding. Color photographic illustration of ballet dancers on front cover. 9" x 11 3/4." Thirty-six pages, complete. Many black-and-white illustrations, complete. Pages are virtually pristine and intact except for almost imperceptible toning. Covers are virtually pristine and intact except for light age toning, tiny stains on front and back, and slight wear to extremities. A Near Fine copy. This is a promotional program for the New York City Ballet (NYCB) for c. 1986-1987. Lincoln Kirstein is listed as NYCB's Director. The following are some of the contents: "Responsibilities of Repertory" by Otis Stuart (article about NYCB and its repertory); "Dressing a Ballet" by Toni Bentley (article about NYCB's costume designers and costume designs); NYCB Ballet Calendar for 1985-1987; credits for NYCB officers and staff; black-and-white photographic portrait illustrations; and stills and show credits for NYCB productions such as Shadows, Songs of the Auvergne, Quiet City, Piccolo Balletto, Brahms-Schoenberg Quartet, Swan Lake, Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, Prodigal Son, Interplay, Episodes, and Dances at a Gathering. NYCB was founded by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein in 1948. It became closely associated with the School of American Ballet (SAB), a ballet dance school that was founded in 1934 by Balanchine, Kirstein, and Edward Warburg. Both NYCB and SAB are still in business and work closely together to this day.
