Twyla Moves

Interwoven with her storied career and prolific works, Twyla Moves sees legendary choreographer Twyla Tharp navigate her latest creative challenge: choreographing a dance for a world plagued by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Including never-before-seen archival footage, audiences will also get to know Twyla from her earliest avant-garde performance art to her renowned musical collaborations with the likes of The Beach Boys, David Byrne, and Billy Joel.

Twyla Moves premieres nationwide on American Masters Friday, March 26 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), pbs.org/twylatharp and the PBS Video app and will be available to stream for a limited time following the premiere.
