Alicia Alonso, who created the ballerina role in George Balanchine's Theme and variations for Ballet Theatre in 1947, coaches Paloma Herrera and Angel Correra in the choreography for the leading female and male dancers in the ballet. The excerpts rehearsed are the opening theme, pas de deux, two male variations, and two female variations. In an interview Alonso recalls the creation of the ballet and the difficulty of its choreography, noting Balanchine's practice of constantly challenging his dancers. She describes the contrasting moods of the ballerina's three solos in the ballet, and the ballet's unusual structure. She discusses Balanchine's musicality, which allowed the whole body to become expressive; the special eloquence of head movements; and the rapport between male and female dancers in pas de deux, with special reference to her longstanding partnership with Igor Youskevitch, who created Theme and variations with her.

In an interview with Jack Anderson, Tallchief, Franklin and Brown discuss productions of the ballet by the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (1940, 1946) and the Paris Opéra Ballet (1947), as well as Balanchine's later work, Divertimento from Le baiser de la fée (1972). They compare the role of the Young Man to that of the Poet in Night shadow (La sonnambula), and discuss some recurring themes in Balanchine's ballets, noting that Balanchine himself seldom voiced his artistic intentions.
