Jody Oberfelder: Body and Soul podcast

Jody Oberfelder received a dream commission from the Brooklyn Philharmonic--to choreograph Stravinsky's "A Soldier's Tale" for a May 9th performance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). Little did she realize that her project would become a casualty of New York's economic crisis when, like so many other arts institutions, the Philharmonic was forced to slash its budget. Oberfelder joined me today to talk about her re-imagining of "A Soldier's Tale," the ironic relevance of its theme and her renewed efforts to bring this production to life.
