Nutcracker

As the Nutcracker Party Planner at Pacific Northwest Ballet, I play a pivotal role in bringing to life the enchanting world of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker, a beloved holiday tradition in Seattle. My extensive experience on stage at McCaw Hall has afforded me the unique opportunity to collaborate with luminaries such as Artistic Director Peter Boal and award-winning author and illustrator Ian Falconer. This collaboration has not only enriched my artistic perspective but has also allowed me to contribute to the seamless integration of dance, acting, and drama that defines our production.

In my current role, I leverage my skills in modern dance, ballet, and improvisational comedy to create a captivating experience for audiences of all ages. I am dedicated to ensuring that each performance resonates with the magic of the holiday season, transforming the stage into a whimsical Land of Sweets where Clara’s journey unfolds. My expertise in strategic communications and marketing strategy enables me to effectively promote our performances, engaging the community and enhancing the overall experience for attendees.

Key projects include coordinating special events that celebrate the spirit of The Nutcracker, from pre-show gatherings to post-performance receptions, ensuring that every detail reflects the grandeur of the production. My strong collaborative spirit and commitment to excellence allow me to work closely with dancers and production teams, fostering an environment where creativity flourishes. As the Nutcracker in shining armor, I am passionate about making this ultimate holiday gift a memorable experience for everyone involved, from the performers to the audience.
