I am so proud of Maddie W. She is going to be Clara in "The Endless Forest Nutcracker." I think as a young ballerina this is just about the most wonderful honor you could receive. I just finalized my tickets and hope that you do the same. (Because I am enjoying playing around with the new features on my Mac using iLife '11 I have made a little slideshow out of Maddie's beautiful pictures. )
This is taken from the Endless Forest Website:
The Endless Forest Nutcracker is a heartwarming and creative rendition of the traditional holiday ballet, and is presented by Common Thread Productions in conjunction with Dance Project Saint Louis. Performances will be held at 4:00 pm and 8:00 pm on Saturday, November 27th, on the top floor of the City Museum in the Windows Off Washington Complex.
The Endless Forest Nutcracker is based upon Tale of Tales’ interactive MMO/screensaver “The Endless Forest,” in which players become deer in a magical forest. There are no rules, no language, just beauty, peace, and love. In the spirit of collaborative art that Tale of Tales created in their Forest, we have asked choreographers and dancers from around the country to be part of ours. We welcome you and invite you to join us.
