NYCB’s Benjamin Millepied is Black Swan’s Choreographer

Benjamin Millepied of the New York City Ballet will choreograph the dance sequences in Black Swan. Darren Aronofsky commented: “My sister was a dancer growing up and I was always in the background, so I always thought it would be a really interesting world to film in. And after wrestling and working with maybe the lowest form of art [in The Wrestler], it was kind of interesting to move to the highest form of art … It’s taken a long time to develop an understanding of the details and the more you get exposed to it, the more complexity you see.” [WWD]
