For the Impressions show at the Palais Garnier, Marcos Morau creates Étude for the Paris Opera Ballet. 

The Spanish choreographer draws inspiration from elements of the world of classical dance, such as tiaras, tutus, and flowers during curtain calls, but revisits them in a new light. Marcos Morau explains how the different moments that lead from the studio to the stage, such as warm-ups, barre work, exercises in the middle, then backstage, are used, sometimes not in the usual order, to explore the imagery specific to the world of ballet. 

Finally, Marcos Morau discusses his work in the studio with the Opera dancers.
 

For the Impressions show scheduled at the Palais Garnier, Jessica Wright and Morgann Runacre-Temple are creating Arena for the Paris Opera Ballet. 

Dancer Ida Viikinkoski discusses her work in the studio with the two British choreographers, particularly the use of live video in Arena. She also details the different methods used by Jessica Wright and Morgann Runacre-Temple to create and develop their choreographic material. 

Finally, she explains the meaning of the piece and its title: the idea of an arena where everyone, like in today's society, is competing with others to take center stage and dominate the screens.
