Initiated by Peter Martins, Principal Dancer Jonathan Stafford was asked to conceive and supervise the evening along with its marketing and promotional efforts, marking the first time that a NYCB dancer has programmed and cast a Company performance. To assist him in planning the evening, Jonathan has put together a committee of dancers, including Kyle Froman, Craig Hall, Amanda Hankes, Adam Hendrickson, Ask la Cour, Henry Seth, and Daniel Ulbricht.
