Today on Conversations On Dance, we are joined by acclaimed ballerina, Misty Copeland, and Emmy Award winning TV producer and writer, Leyla Fayyaz. We talk to Misty and Leyla about how they first met as young ballerinas at American Ballet Theatre, reconnecting to create Life In Motion Productions, the stories they want to tell in their new work and their first short film 'Flower', which recently premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. For my information on 'Flower' and Life In Motion Productions, follow @oaklandflowerfilm on Instagram.
If you’d like to host a free screening of Life in Motion's new film Flower starring Misty Copeland please email flower@picturemotion.com.
