PREVIOUS EVENTS!
Canyon
Movement Company’s Evening
of Elegance!
was a great success! Great food, raffle prizes, dance, and great
company!
Canyon Movement
Company presented the fifth annual Nutcracker Suite in Modern Bare Feet
– a 21st This production has become a
Holiday Tradition with tickets sales starting as early as October.
Every year, there are new dynamic changes that keep this
production at the top of the "MUST-SEE" holiday shows!
In 2008, an African
dance and drum troupe has been added to the authentic ethnic dances.
Fantastical costumes by Jen Jones of the Red Thread Sewing
Company, new casting, updated choreography, musical surprises, and
beautiful sets will send you home with the holiday spirit!
New this year are tap
dancing soldiers, new characters in the party scene including party
servers and a cat and mouse, enhanced contemporary costumes, additional
choreographers with new choreography, a cast of over 80 dancers, and a
street performing scene with dibolos (large Chinese yo-yo’s thrown with
a string), lock and pop dancing, free-hand stilts, tap dancing, and
gymnastics. This annual Flagstaff tradition uses music
by Peter Tchaikovsky with new choreographic interpretations lending a
fresh look to this classical favorite. Beautiful
backdrops of the San Francisco Peaks bring this holiday
favorite home to Flagstaff.
Members of Canyon
Movement Company and the cast also presented five
lecture/demonstrations at local schools and community centers as part
of their outreach and educational programs. This program is
sponsored by Target Stores.
Flag Live said, “The Nutcracker Suite in
Modern Bare Feet successfully blended ... two expectations. The end
result was a distinctive combination that gave this performance a
personality that could only be seen in a small town like Flagstaff. It was an extremely well-orchestrated
family show.”
This
performance
is
supported
in part by funds from the City of Flagstaff and
Flagstaff Cultural Partners, the Arizona Commission on the Arts with
funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, Target Stores, and
private donors.
