SUMMARY:Jersey Nutcracker
DESCRIPTION:Nimbus Dance’s Jersey Nutcracker delights audiences young and old with a quirky and lovable story of two Jersey kids and their city adventure\, filled with magic\, battles with bullies and rats\, stories of friendship\, and exquisite dancing. Set to Tchaikovsky’s beloved score\, Nimbus’ adaptation of The Nutcracker offers a thrilling\, jazzy interpretation with a New Jersey twist. \nNimbus Dance performs Artistic Director Samuel Pott’s choreography against a dazzling backdrop of full-scale sets and animated projections of illustrated scenes\, designed by Jersey City artists Laia Carbrera and Isabelle Duverger. With a delightful libretto co-written by Alysia Souder (The Institute for Music for Children) and Samuel Pott (Nimbus Artistic Director)\, Jersey Nutcracker transports audiences through classic New Jersey landscapes – parks\, bustling streets\, back alleys\, sewers\, and back to City Hall\, with surprises\, cheer\, and a message of hope and resilience along the way. \nAbout Nimbus Dance\nNimbus Dance bridges the gap between world-class performance and community engagement by presenting work that challenges\, speaks to\, and elevates diverse audiences across the nation. Founded in 2005 by visionary Artistic Director Samuel Pott (former soloist with Martha Graham Dance Company)\, Nimbus stands at the forefront of excellence in the arts\, civic engagement\, and equitable impact. With a highly physical and visually engaging aesthetic\, Nimbus’ international company of dancers “split the difference between traditionalism and modernism… A Nimbus Dance piece can pivot from ballet to Broadway to Beyoncé in a few beats.” (Tris McCall\, Jersey City Times).
