Nut/Cracked is my vacation present to New York’s scrappy, irreverent, resilient and hilarious dance group in all its wonderful eclecticism,” feedback David Parker. “Conceived within the spirit of dancing colleges throughout the nation with their inevitable Nutcrackers and embossed with New York Metropolis grit, Nut/Cracked cuts the plot unfastened and revels within the easy essences of the season — snow, ice, evergreens, greed, competitors, generosity, presents, addictions, faucet footwear and toe footwear. The corridor is decked, and we’re delighted to be again.”
