DANCE

Nut ReMix
December 12, 2009
New Ballet Ensemble & School presents Nut Remix, an original contemporary urban Memphis story based upon the traditional Nutcracker Ballet. Act I finds us at Beale Street celebrating the season with international visitors dining the Beale Street cafe run by a hard working single parent and his daughter, Clara. The Hip hop battle replaces the usual mouse and soldier confrontation and ends peacefully as snow descends on a surprised Memphis. Nut ReMix honors the cultures of the countries represented in the Ballet. Flamenco and Chinese dance rooted in the real traditions of these cultures is brought to the fore and New Ballet adds the dances of West Guinea, Africa into the mix. Audiences experience the classical ballet of the Sugar Plum juxtaposed with the raw energy of urban dance that has come to be associated with New Ballet. This production has been described as a "joyous, daring fusion of the old and the new". Tchaikovsky’s venerable Nutcracker leaps into the 21st Century, reconfigured with ballet hip-hop, African dance and a score that has the well-known classical element. New Ballet is committed to providing a distinctly multicultural experience for audience members, which coincides with the mission of New Ballet Ensemble & School.
