“Working on artistic projects during a global pandemic has led
us to dig deeper, finding new and creative ways of working. Just as we never thought we would
list a “barn” as a location for dance classes, we never imagined that we would be staging and
filming a Nutcracker production that uses natural beauty as a backdrop for movement and music.
We are grateful and excited for every opportunity to bring the joy of performance to our
communities.”Wendi DuBois, Ballet Chelsea Artistic Director
