Accessibility in Dance

Unpacking the Nutcracker with Suzanne Haag

Hosts Erinn Ernst and Lindsey Salfran share drinks and dialogue with Suzanne Haag, resident choreographer of the Eugene Ballet, and delve into all things Nutcracker.  Exploring the mythos of the Nutcracker tale as told through dance, we touch on topics that range from favorite roles of this beloved ballet, sheer repetition through the years and within each season, and the evolution of tradition, meaning, and expression. We also talk to Suzanne about #instaballet which utilizes audience participation and creativity to generate new ballets. This mix of repeating traditions while making space for fresh perspectives pairs nicely with the Nutcracker cocktail which features Crater Lake Hazelnut Espresso Vodka, a local distillery (recipe below).
