JohnHOST
Here's my question.
JohnHOST
Amanda seems to be on the Baryshnikov.
AmandaHOST
Oh, that's what I was originally trying to say.
AmandaHOST
I watched a, I didn't know that Liza Minnelli dated Mikhail Baryshnikov.
AmandaHOST
Makes sense.
AmandaHOST
And, yeah, totally.
JohnHOST
how much do we like this guy? Like, I knew that he was famous because I think he was on Sesame Street or something.
JohnHOST
I swear, like, I know.
John GreenHOST
The USSR had more satellite states that it needed to spend more to prop up than the US had to invest in its allies, and the Soviet system could never keep up with economic growth in the West.
John GreenHOST
But probably the individual most responsible for the end of the Cold War was Mikhail Baryshnikov.
John GreenHOST
No? Mikhail Gorbachev? Well, that's boring.
John GreenHOST
I always thought the Soviets danced their way to freedom.
Jamie BellGUEST
I'm like, "Bergkamp v Newcastle," and just watch it.
Roger BennettHOST
Baryshnikov or Bergkamp? I mean-
Jamie BellGUEST
Yeah, same thing basically.
Roger BennettHOST
Same, same.
RayPANELIST
Now, one of the interesting things to me is, you know, you could look at another movie.
RayPANELIST
There was a movie in the 80s called White Nights with Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines.
RayPANELIST
And, you know, it's kind of a thing of...
RayPANELIST
Bryshkov's character had defected from the USSR and he happens to be on a commercial plane.

Susan Chalmers-GauvinGUEST
And I actually found him online because the academy that he came to was looking for a new teacher.
Susan Chalmers-GauvinGUEST
And they had had someone who actually had danced with Baryshnikov, who was Eastern European, believe it or not.
Susan Chalmers-GauvinGUEST
Couldn't attract any Canadians to come to New Brunswick to be part of their school.
Susan Chalmers-GauvinGUEST
And in the myriad of resumes, there was this statement looking for a chance.
Mark A. AltmanHOST
And he did, you know, obviously Company Business with Gene Hackman and...
Mark A. AltmanHOST
Baryshnikov.
Mark A. AltmanHOST
And that's where the hour is really unfortunate.
Mark A. AltmanHOST
That if you had two hours, you could get into some of this.
Mark A. AltmanHOST
Because his story is about Hackman and Baryshnikov.
Mark A. AltmanHOST
Yeah, I
Terry MatalasGUEST

Lilly-Rose ParaskevasGUEST
Um, I got to be in Lincoln Center and, uh, seeing all these amazing dancers.
Lilly-Rose ParaskevasGUEST

Alex CoulombeGUEST
Christmas Carol is entirely virtual reality.
Alex CoulombeGUEST
We did a production of The Orchard off Broadway with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Jessica Hecht, which had some very cool reasons to see the virtual show and the in-person show.
Alex CoulombeGUEST
And then we did this mixed reality play last year called Your Mind Girls with Hope Huttman, and that was a really cool on-site version of people watching one actor on stage and then having Meta Quest 3s on and seeing all this other content around her while that actor is, is interacting with all these other things there in the world.
Alex CoulombeGUEST
So I feel like we have all the pieces, and really all we're missing is someone who really wants to fund either a showcase experience that really brings all this together or just wants to help us spend a little more time focused on building our tools, so then we're more ready to offer those to the world.
