The Nutcracker is the most elaborate annual production on the Coast!
The beauty of the Nutcracker is that it combines professional dancers with local dancers who are eagerly learning the profession and nuance of classical ballet. The Nutcracker is a family tradition that has been taking place in cities around the world for over 123 years and that tradition has been available on the Sunshine Coast now as we enter our fourth year.
Maintaining the standard of excellence that makes this production so exceptional, involves an annual expense that far outpaces the revenue captured by ticket sales. In order for the Nutcracker to achieve ever higher and higher standards the shortfall of the funding relies on donations from generous benefactors who appreciate the fine arts. This annual tradition creates lifetime memories between parents, children, and dancers. Cultural events play an important part in making a diverse community and an attractive place to make a home.
Won’t you become a donor today? Keep the magic and the dreams alive!
“Wonderland”… is an original dance presentation performed by Canada’s rising professional dancers, The Source Dance Company.
The Source Dance Company is a semi professional dance company based out of Harbour Dance Centre in Vancouver. Dancers from all across Canada audition each year to make up this dynamic company that focuses on jazz, hip hop, contemporary and street jazz. This season’s company is made up of dancers from BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This season’s production, “Wonderland”… is a new interpretation of the Lewis Carroll classic story, “Alice in Wonderland”. Original choreography from some of North America’s best choreographers will represent scenes from the familiar story.
Artistic Director and founder of The Source Dance Company, Joanne Pesusich, has had fifteen successful seasons with the company. She says this year is one of the strongest companies to date. While she has personally set choreographed pieces on the company, she also brought in other professional choreographers from across Canada and L.A to set pieces for the show.
“Each year I am blown away by the raw talent and drive each dancer in The Source Dance Company shows…” states Joanne Pesusich, “This year is by far the most dedicated and well rounded company to date. The sheer talent in the room at each rehearsal is astounding. They will not disappoint! ‘Wonderland’ is going to be a knockout!”
