Transcript
Host: What's unique about combining two pianists and one dancer?
Would you consider yourself a Ballerina?
Christine Paulino: I consider myself a hobby dancer. So I am not a professional dancer. I am a journalist during the day.
Phil Cohen: What we do is, we work with people who are aspiring people to be performers, to be artist.
Host: Can you rehearse individually, or do you really have to rehearse all three of you together?
Anna Szpilberg: Yeah, we rehearse alone, together, two of us was out, and we rehearsed with Christine.
Pamela Korman: When you are rehearsing by yourself you are still feeling what's happening with the others, you are imagining it and so you are with them even when you are not with them.
Christine Paulino: So you have three people on stage trying to coordinate together and working together.
Host: What happens if you are experiencing an off day, and now that you are working in a team how do you cope with that?
Christine Paulino: its fun, it makes for an interesting rehearsal, we try to goof around, and Phil Cohen is very good at helping us through our bad day, let's say.
Phil Cohen: A whole point of it is to look at it with a great sense of humor, and it's empathy for the terrible tragedies that conflict people and they don't know it. That's it.
Host: Thank you very much.
Phil Cohen: I hope that's enough for you?
Christine Paulino: An experience like this it's really performing art.
