Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia prepare to perform “Swift Arrow” by Alonzo King at the Kennedy Center during the COVID-19 pandemic.

TRANSCRIPT

♪♪ We worked on it at the Kennedy Center for an extra week.

Right now, it feels like we have the Opera House to ourselves.

It's just vacant.

But we're putting on this performance.

[Tiler yells excitedly] That was a good turn!

Piano... And this is a big musical cue.

[Alonzo King vocalizing] When you see someone in their essence and they're fully committed.

We want to be loved like that.

Every time you see Tiler, she plummets to that place because that is her real reality.

♪♪ We had to share a dressing room on the side of the stage because there wasn't really like a dressing room.

There is just a lot of a lot of interesting things happening that day.

This was our first performance since COVID.

When I walked out on stage, I remember feeling like, Okay, yeah, I'm back.

This is where I'm supposed to be.
