Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy, whose past work with French-born choreographer Benjamin Millepied includes a production for the Dutch National Ballet and costumes for Darren Aronofsky’s ‘Black Swan,’ are collaborating with him again, according to a Thursday morning announcement by the New York City Ballet. The ballet, which is set to a score by Nico Muhly, is scheduled to make its world premiere at the NYC Ballet’s 2012 spring gala on May 10.
