Beginning December 17, “The Nutcracker” will be available to watch on demand throughout the holiday season.
The timeless tale of “The Nutcracker” steps into the present in the world premiere of the popular annual holiday tradition newly created for film. The schools of Dance, Design & Production, Filmmaking, and Music will collaborate for the first time to create a 30-minute version of the beloved classic adapted for the screen.
This yearâs The Nutcracker by the University of North Carolina School of the Arts will be totally different from years past as the production moves from the Stevens Center stage in downtown Winston-Salem to a sound stage.
UNCSAâs schools of Dance, Design & Production, Filmmaking and Music have teamed up to create a film version of the holiday ballet. This semester at UNCSA has been like no other in our history, Brian Cole, chancellor of UNCSA, said in a press release. Despite the limitations we have had to face with the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been blown away by the creativity and innovation that our students and faculty have shown.
