The project resulted in a beautifully intimate depiction of the two and how they exist within their creative and personal partnership.

"Nik and Murray: The Dances of Alwin Nikolais and Murray Louis" is a lively and informative portrait of the two choreographers in which they reveal their insight into dance and their own unique way of creating work.
