Tony Williams On Creating An Inclusive 'Nutcracker'
ResumeThe "Urban Nutcracker" is one of Boston's classic holiday dance shows. Now in its 17th year, it re-imagines the traditional tale in downtown Boston, giving it a hip-hop spin, beneath the glow of the CITGO sign. Creator Tony Williams' goal was to put a multicultural, diverse face on the traditional ballet.
The "Urban Nutcracker" is on stage now through December 28th at John Hancock Hall.
Guest
Tony Williams, creator and choreographer of the "Urban Nutcracker" and founder and artistic director of the Tony Williams Dance Center.
