Cornish Preparatory Dance Company CPDC and students in the Preparatory Dance Program at Cornish College of the Arts present 'Nutcracker.' Students from age 6 to 18 bring this classic story to the stage with heart and a bit of humor. The choreographers have captured the essence of the Nutcracker story while giving the students the opportunity to participate in a classical ballet with competence while honoring their particular talents.
Christine Juarez, Cornish Preparatory Dance Program (CPDP) Faculty Member and Cornish Summer Dance Program Director, brings her talents of working with younger performers to the stage. Her staging of the Party Scene and Mother Ginger are creative, charming and the audience will enjoy an occasional bit of humor. Vanesa Wylie, CPDP Faculty Member and Cornish College of the Arts Alumni will be using her expertise to re-stage our exciting battle scene with growing tree, smoke, explosives and many soldiers. Paula J. Peters, CPDP Faculty Member, former Spectrum dancer, Cornish College of the Arts graduate, and a University of Washington MFA graduate, has created stunning choreography for the Snow Scene, Chinese and Arabian divertissements', bringing a more modern flavor to Act II, The Magic Kingdom. Leigh-Ann Cohen-Hafford, CPDP Faculty, former dancer with Ballet B.C., and former Artistic Director of Washington Academy of the Performing Arts, has choreographed whimsical new choreography for the Mirlitons and Spanish Act II Divertissements.
