Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance bonus clip Light Rain

A video extra from the documentary Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance featuring Gerald Arpino's Light Rain. Arpino chose to create this work for The Joffrey Ballet's Silver Anniversary in 1981 to showcase the new young dancers of the company.
The music for the ballet, called "Dream Dancer," is scored for an unusual combination of instruments: banjo, violin, mandolin, bass, toumbec (clay drum), finger cymbals, tambourine, claves (South American wood sticks), maraca, and bamboo flute.
WORLD PREMIERE: November 4, 1981, City Center Theatre, New York, NY
