  • Nutcracker 2020 Program
    Dear Friends of CBT, Welcome to CBT’s presentation of The Nutcracker: Once Upon a Time in Greenville. After so many years in the business, I often get asked the question “Are you tired of the Nutcracker?” The answer is definitely not! There are so many aspects of The Nutcracker that fill me with excitement. First, the dancer’s faces when they start to learn their parts is magical. Secondly, I love the beautiful music. I listen to it daily and truly enjoy it. Lastly, each year gives me the chance to improve upon myself. How will I approach the production and what changes I will make provide a challenge that I look forward to every year. This year, that challenge was bigger than ever. Covid-19 put the entire CBT organization in new territory and everything was impacted. When we made the decision to move the production to the DAG Black Box Theatre, The Nutcracker became a brand new ballet. Of the qualities I have as an artistic director, what I credit myself with most is that I have managed to surround myself with very creative and talented people. Anita, my love and my associate artistic director, understands my concept of using ballet as a means of entertainment and also helps me with additional choreography. Our wardrobe team understands that costumes tell a story and every year they manage to go above and beyond. Professional dancers and students understand that dance without passion is unforgivable. We are storytellers, not just body movers. My light and production designer understands my vision and how the space for that vision needs to be presented.
