Host Jim Sparrow and Artistic Director Karen Gibbons-Brown talk ballet history, as they debate the collaborative history of Tchaikovsky and choreographer Marius Petipa and the timelessness of Sleeping Beauty. In preparation for the Fort Wayne Ballet's production of the classic, they discuss staging, both modern and historical, and the origins of the grand pas de deus.
