Anna and Jerome Robbins were colleagues. their friendship was based on exploring similar artistic questions related to Interdisciplinary form of arts . Modern Dance, Classical Ballet, Jazz, the relations between Dance, Music, Theatre , Literature, Poetry, Painting....
Anna and Jerome knew how to listen to music and how to use it in movement as a dialogue between different forms of art, with great perfection, concentration, and depth. Jerome brought Jazz to Ballet after Anna who was the pioneer, Anna had started exploring Jazz and  people from the street since the late thirties.
 Both of them had worked with Leonard Bernstein. After telling Anna that I had seen Fancy-Free alive At Lincoln Center  she told me: do you know that I was the first?
 Both of them worked also with Marc Blittzstein, Both of them worked on Broadway and had coped with failures. Anna told me that Jerome knew how to deal with art with great understanding of the commercial area. He had the unique talent to make this synthesis without compromising on his art.  Both  of them used art in order to ask social questions. Both of them appeared before the Committee on un-American activities (Mccarthy). Both of them had been  connected to ABT (American Ballet Theater), Joffrey,   George Balanchine and  to The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
Both of them were deeply in love with  Art.
My last meeting with Anna was short time after Jerome death and I remember that she had not  been given the ability to speak.
I'm sure that there is much more to dig...
