Today's #AdventCalendar nugget is this very thought-provoking piece from the Pacific NW Ballet blog called Leaping from Caricature to Chqaracter
The blog post is about reworking very stereotyped imagery in the Nutcracker ballet. RantWoman is always in favor of challenging old favorites with new eyes.
Full disclosure: the piquancy of the symbolism as described in the piece also vividly illustrates the value of audio description to give visually impaired members of the audience a more complete interaction with the content of the production.
