The Nutcracker Details!
CASTING INFORMATION - please see the post below for Audition date and times. Know that casting will be determined by the information below AND costume sizes and sign-ups/audition turn out. We'll be choosing some roles based on what is seen in group auditions. Also, work in classes is considered as well when selecting dancers. Each family participating will be responsible for a $20 fee to participate this year and will also be given comp. tickets (# TBD later) for each show.
ACT I - roles and breakdowns
The Party Scene is a big portion of ACT I. It includes:
* the guests arriving to the party (dancers and non-dancers as stage fillers)
*The Nutcracker March - Older Girls and Boys/Little Girls and Boys (see below)
*Dance of Friends - 4 Advanced Beginner or Intermediate ballet students and 4 Ballet 2/3 students
*Clara's solo - must be Ballet 3 or Int. ballet dancer - approx 10-12 years of age, must be animated and have good stage presence
*The Adult dance - we will need 5/6 "couples" of adult volunteers to learn simple dance
** I would add a Father Daughter Dance OR Grandparent dance if I had volunteers!
LITTLE GIRLS/BOYS - 16-20 students to play the parts of Little Girls and Little Boys in the Nutcracker March. We will be needing people that are strong leaders (have done it before or a bit older then others) as well as new faces that can learn quickly. General ages for the LITTLE parts are 5-8/9 years old. You do NOT have to be a student in a ballet class!
OLDWE GIRLS/BOYS - 6 Older Girls and 6 Older "Boys" to perform the March as well. These students are generally around 10 and up. The Older Girls should be ballet students. The Older Boys do NOT need to be ballet student - they can come from any of our In Motion classes. The choreography for the "boys" is based mainly on walking patterns.
DANCING TOYS - The Director will invite select students based on auditions of group pieces for the toys: 2 Dolls, 1 Puppet, 1 Toy Soldier
*Fritz - we'd be looking for a boy to play the part of Clara's brother - 9-12 years of age approx. (This person should be willing but won't necessarily would be in...the Nutcracker March dance) - please sign up with the Director
The next big scene in Act I is the Battle Scene. It includes:
* Clara
* The Nutcracker - need another volunteer to play this - boy around 9-12 years of age - "dances" with soldiers
*Mice - 6-9 students ages 5-7 (would allow an older 4 who can follow directions and has good spacial awareness) No ballet required
*Soldiers - must have the same amount of soldiers as Mice (for partnering section). Approx. 7-10 years old. Ballet is not a requirement
*Mouse King - approx 10-12 years of age - must be willing to be animated and dramatic! Make the most of that big death scene! :)
The next dance scene in Act I is the change into the Snowflakes scene. The Christmas Trees perform during this scene change.
*The Christmas Trees - 6 students (ballet is helpful but not a must necessarily) - 6-9 years old approx.
*Snowflakes - around 12 Beg. Ballet 3, Int, Adv. students (must have an even #)
*Snow Queen - POINTE/ADV. student!
ACT II Roles and Breakdowns
ACT I is a welcome to Clara and The Nutcracker to the Land of Sweets. Each dance occurs one after the next and the show ends with a big curtain call and send off for Nutcracker and Clara in their magical Sleigh.
*Spanish - 3 Int/Adv Ballet students
*Chinese - Beg. Ballet 3 students
*Marzipan - 9 Beg. Ballet 2 or 3 students
*Russian - approx. 5 dancers (ballet a plus but not a must)... COULD consider changing this to a younger or mixed group this year?? Must be able to do lots of jumps, must have good technique, clean lines, stamina, TURNS - looking for dancers level 3 and up GYMNASTS NEEDED!!

NUTCRACKER AUDITIONS
You must be a student with In Motion to participate - this is a dance school production with all the work done by dance studio staff, dancers and families.
Sunday, September 19th:
1:00 p.m. - Mice, Angels, Christmas Trees
1:30 – Party Scene dancers, Dance of Friends, Soldiers
2:00 – Marzipan, Mother Ginger
2:20 – Chinese, Russian
2:45 – Waltz of the Flowers, Snowflakes, Clara, Arabian, Soldier, Snow Queen, Lead Flower
Staying on schedule will be determined partly by how many students we need to get through. Be patient and understand we may not run exactly on time... have your dancer ready however by the times listed above.
Please use both sides of the building for parking and try to limit the amount of people you need to bring with you as it sometimes can get very crowded in the waiting area on audition day. We are using a Sunday to avoid congestion with Saturday classes this year and hope this helps people.
We recommend trying out for more then one part. You may be selected for a part that you didn't "try out" for. We will try to place as many students as possible. There are roles for younger students and older. We need lots of girls to be boys too! Keep watching for a breakdown on recommendations for ages for these roles, descriptions, and pre-requisites (for example: Waltz of Flowers must be students in certain levels of ballet classes).

Nutcracker auditions
We will be holding 2 dates for different roles in the Nutcracker this year. Our first audition date will be be NEXT Sunday, 9/19!! Details will follow soon. Hand-outs and postings will be available in classes this week. A 2nd date will be in the beginning of October with rehearsals beginning soon after. Rehearsals will be Fri-Sunday. This does not mean you will need to be there Fri-Sun...this simply means these are the days of the week we'll be using this year to hold practices. It will depend on the given weekend and the role you have which day over a weekend you will have. Rehearsals for approximately 6-8 weeks at a time are scheduled so that you can adjust your schedule accordingly. Participants are expected to have good attendance so that we can get choreography taught to the dancers and have time for polishing and overall rehearsals. Plan to be available for a full company rehearsal on the Wed. before Thanksgiving - this is an annual tradition...you must be available! We look forward to our 5th Nutcracker season and hope to see lots of faces there!
