I’m
interested in producing the Nutcracker this Christmas
season with the students from my school. We have a serious
ballet program and I think it’s time to offer a performance
venue for these dancers, but I don’t know where to begin. Do I
have to buy the rights to use the name, Nutcracker . .
. if I do where do I go to do that?
How do
other schools handle the costuming? Do they invest in the
wardrobe and then own it or do they costume each season and
the dancers purchase the costumes? Is there a place that
specializes in costumes for the Nutcracker?
Am I
allowed to change the format of the Nutcracker? Maybe
modernize it a little? What have other teachers done?
How long do
other schools run their Nutcracker performances? Is it
a one-night thing or many performances? When do you start
rehearsing? Any input would be appreciated--Amanda
