A world premiere documentary, Tiler Peck: Suspending Time offers a raw and deeply personal look at one of ballet’s most celebrated artists as she faces a career crossroads. Following a series of life-altering events - a major injury, a pandemic, a personal loss - New York City Ballet prima ballerina Tiler Peck is forced to reckon with the unknown and reimagine her relationship to dance, to her body, and to herself.

Directed by Alex Ramsey, the film follows Tiler over the course of six years of her life, through rehearsal studios, stages, and quiet moments of reflection, as she fights to return stronger, not just as a prima ballerina, but also as a choreographer and creative force. Featuring original work by Peck alongside choreography from Alonzo King, William Forsythe, George Balanchine, and Christopher Wheeldon, the film blends vulnerability and resilience with artistic brilliance.

Following the screening, join Tiler, director Alex Ramsey, and producers Eric Cook and Garen Scribner for a Q&A moderated by San Francisco Ballet Artistic Director Tamara Rojo.

VIP ticket holders are invited to attend a post-screening VIP reception with Tiler and the film's creative team.
