[It] is Parker's way of loving ballet, not his way of throwing rocks at it.” - Journal Sentinel“I bring widely divergent dance forms together through their underlying rhythmic impulses in order to liberate their latent comic impulses, collapse binary notions of gender and eros, and release a sense of wonder.” – David ParkerDavid Parker and The Bang Group’s Nut/Cracked is the contemporary dance world’s beloved version of The Nutcracker. With an enterprising mix of tap, ballet, contemporary, disco and even toe tap, Parker conjures a comic, subversive neo-vaudeville tinged with whimsy. Danced to novelty and popular arrangements of the score as well as the traditional orchestral suite, Nut/Cracked premiered at Dance Theater Workshop in 2004 and has been touring ever since. See it while it’s home for the holidays!
