Nobuaki Coté and Oliver Szin, two ten-year-old students at the School of American Ballet, star as “Fritz” in this year’s
@nycballet production of The Nutcracker. It was a joy shadowing them as they rehearsed this fall. During the posed portraits, they directed me more than I directed them, and I loved every minute.
