Meet the principal dancers, choreographer John Neumeier and composer Lera Auerbach of San Francisco Ballet's production of The Little Mermaid.

The interviews in this exhibit show how the show developed dramatically and creatively and explore how the performers learned to interpret the classic Hans Christian Andersen story through dance.
