dirac Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Nevada Ballet Theatre faces financial challenges without its Nutcracker. Quote This would have been the 39th consecutive year the ballet company put on the show, which since 2012 has been hosted at the Smith Center. Its revenues keep the company afloat, including the education outreach that provides shoes, outfits and lessons at no charge. It is hosted at 16 at-risk CCSD schools and annually reaches up to 20,000 children. Link to comment
dirac Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Oregon Ballet Theatre presents a retooled season combining live and digital performances. Quote The performances, many of them showcasing new work, will take place at the Slabtown warehouse where OBT builds costumes and sets for itself and organizations like Portland Opera and the Oregon Zoo. Modular, distanced seating will be arranged according to ticketholders’ quarantine pods and cap around 30 patrons. A series of talks—somewhat laboriously titled “R(E)volve”—will tackle topics like race and gender in the world of professional dance with panel members from the community and beyond, and everything will be available for digital viewing. Some streams, including all R(E)volve talks, will happen live, while others will be professionally shot and edited for on-demand access. Link to comment
