In addition to the classic story ballet Peter and the Wolf, NWDT is proud to present Dennis Spaight’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” with the special permission of the Dennis Spaight Choreography Trust, as well as other innovative works by renown contemporary choreographers. The MAC Dancers will also be returning to join us again as this year’s guest performers. For these young artists, this program is a wonderful opportunity to learn new styles of movement and expand their understanding of dance as a performance art. With this sense of exploration and discovery, Peter and the Wolf and Other Works makes the richness of this art form tangible by creating a bridge between the classical and the contemporary for all ages to enjoy. Tickets are $10 youth and $12-18 for adults. Free event parking is available. Please contact 503-925-3898 or email office@nwdt.org for more information.
A Nutcracker Tea
Each December Northwest Dance Theatre presents its annual holiday production of A Nutcracker Tea, a family-friendly adaptation of the holiday story that follows Clara and her Nutcracker Prince on a heartwarming journey through the Snow Kingdom and Land of Sweets. Paired with NWDT’s beautifully crafted sets and costumes, June Taylor-Dixon’s and Gretta Murray-Marchek’s delightful choreography creates the perfect holiday tradition and first-time ballet experience for family and friends of all ages. This charming production continues to warm the hearts of all ages as a holiday family tradition. In December of 2015, NWDT dancers performed seven sold-out shows and six community outreach programs. It was a magical experience for all NWDT dancers, directors, members, volunteers, and community patrons to share, give, and receive the beauty and power of dance.
We hope you join us in 2016! To learn more about this production and NWDT’s community outreach programs, please contact 503-925-3898 or email office@nwdt.org for more information.
