Through direct-to-camera conversations with Arnold, Bauman and Battle, the series also delves into what it means to be an artist and how to foster community within artistic spaces. Episodes: Alvin Ailey New Directions: Paying It Forward Building on Alvin Ailey's legacy, Robert Battle created New Directions Choreography Lab as a safe space for emerging choreographers to explore new ideas with The Ailey School student dancers. The residency culminates in an informal showing of their work. Alvin Ailey New Directions: Quilan "Cue" Arnold Choreographer Quilan "Cue" Arnold recounts his artistic evolution, including the experiences and people who got him to this point in his dance career. Speaking about the residency at The Ailey School, he finds he must resist his ambition to achieve.

The exercises challenge Ailey School students to improvise in response by drawing from their inner landscapes.

Robert Battle notes Alvin Ailey said, "The most interesting works of art are the most personal."

Art is about being stirred - identifying creatively with an idea and responding to something which is there to engage us. The film "Dreams from the Deep End" follows Nigerian artist Modupeola Fadugba as she paints NYC's only 55+ African American synchronized swim team, Harlem Honeys and Bears. Harlem is synonymous with renaissance and reconstruction and indeed this is a story of rebirth. Historically, the black community would not have had access to swimming pools and neither the opportunity to learn to swim, so there is a lot of power in this narrative and what it signifies.Directed by Guto Barra and Tatiana Issa the film showcases Modupeola's work looking at identity, social justice and cultural hierarchy. It's an exquisite body of work displayed in a mellow space of walls painted blue, infused with gold-leaf and the burn marks which she later connects back to impressions of the ravaged buildings she saw in war-torn Rwanda as a child. Her research covers Jeff Wiltse's "Contested Waters: A Social History of Swimming Pools" and looks at historical racial segregation in America's communal swimming pools. Aside from the work itself, Fadugba's personal story is a compelling one. Born in Nigeria to UN diplomat parents, she grew up in the United States and Rwanda, is Harvard-educated, and has a background in economics and engineering. Plunging into the water to the applause of family members also symbolized the high dive head first into a new career as an artist.

At 95 years old, accomplished painter Philip Pearlstein works religiously every day from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm with the same model in his stunning studio in Midtown Manhattan. "Philip Pearlstein: Life Happens" explores his 15-year working relationship with his model, Kika von Kluck. She has been the subject of numerous of his paintings that have been included in the collections of over 70 public art museums. Spending countless hours together, they developed a dynamic of discussing art, history, and his passion for traveling the world from the 1960s to the 2000s. In the film, they also revisit a collection of watercolor paintings and drawings that Pearlstein created while serving in World War II in 1945. He talks about how his passion for art made his stay in war-torn Italy somewhat bearable - and reveals how he started developing his technique while asking for fellow soldiers to pose for him in the fields. After the war, Pearlstein went back to his native Pittsburg, where he befriended Andy Warhol. The two of them moved to New York City together and shared an apartment in Manhattan. Directed by Guto Barra and Tatiana Issa, with Photography by Gustavo Nasr, "Philip Pearlstein: Life Happens" is an intimate portrait of the cherished artist at the twilight of his career. The film also follows the painter and his muse as they survey Philip's impressive collection of thousands of objects and artifacts collected in remote parts of the world.

Joan Fine has been making art for more than 50 years. At the age of 81, she still sculpts every day. One of very few women stone carvers working in the 1970's, Joan embraced the physically challenging process of transforming hundreds of pounds of Carrara marble into smooth, fluid sculptures. At just under 5 feet tall, she explains "maybe it had to do with showing you can do anything in spite of your size". Frustrated by the slow process of stone carving, she experimented with materials like wood, plaster and cement throughout the 1990s. After major spinal surgeries forced her to stop working on a large scale, she again switched mediums and began sculpting in papier mâché, a material she hadn't used since her childhood. Working from her kitchen table, she's now made hundreds of whimsical characters that spring from her memories and life. Like an autobiography, the figures reflect a lifetime of travel, beloved fairy tales, social dynamics, political satire and very private spaces. A mother of four and a lifelong art teacher, Joan's youthful curiosity connects to the openness with which children see the world. Her art is both her therapy and her gift. In this intimate short film, made by her filmmaker son, Jon Fine, we have a window into the thoughts and inspiration of an artist who uses creativity to engage with the world and art as a tool for healing. In Joan's words, "while I'm doing this, I'm back in my childhood again."
