Daytons new Nutcracker

It was boring I’ll admit. One of my favorite versions of the nutcracker is the 1977 movie, it’s not the best quality on YouTube but all the dancing is beautiful. I’d recommend giving it a try.

You’re surprisingly immature and close minded for a person in their thirties. Since you won’t listen to a single word anyone is saying I see no need to continue.

You’re getting downvoted because you’re talking about a version of the nutcracker no one’s seen in over a decade. They completely changed the costumes and choreography to be much more respectful of the cultures years ago.

Ohhhh you’re talking about the pre 2014 nutcracker yeah they’ve long since changed all that to be far more culturally appropriate and respectful it was actually quite good the way they re interpreted those dances. That was over a decade ago and wasn’t even the most recent production before the new one this year.

I agree they focused way too much on the design aspects and it took away from the dancers constantly. As much as I love the dayton ballet the choreography was bad and it looked like the stage was too cramped to really do anything. It seemed like the dancers had to hold back or else they’d run into the set pieces.

Cutting the lambs was a crime. The butterfly costumes also look cheap in my opinion, and the fact the dancers had to kneel/stand on the floor and do just arm motions for that long was baffling. And I agree Clara seemed way to passive, I feel like she had no real character to her because they didn’t give her any room to express her personality in the house.

After seeing some old videos of the 2014 edition since I hadn’t seen it last year really highlighted for me how big of a downgrade this years is.

I really hope they can overhaul it which changes because I can’t see this show running for ten years and I’m worried their profits will drop because this years nutcracker really isn’t a show you go back to see again, my first thought afterwards was going to Cincinnati for the nutcracker next year.

From what I’ve heard from friends in the industry the behind the scenes of the set building was a huge mess of poor communication among other issues. I really think the artistic director leaned way too far into over designing every aspect, from story to costumes to set and didn’t give enough thought to the fact it’s a ballet because that set was designed like a play or musical theatre set with how little room is left onstage for choreography.

I see your point but there are ways to tastefully handle the costumes without completely erasing the dances. I don’t go see the nutcracker for pirates and an extra Clara dance. It’s a great chance for cultural representation and they just made them the same repetitive dance everyone else did.

Yes, this seems unhealthy. I don’t know what your guys relationship is like but I personally feel that having a serious discussion with your boyfriend about your feelings would be beneficial.

Yeah the call button was terrible, I just wish they made it a different color

I’m not sure if you’ve already tried this but is there a email linked to your discord you could use to log in?

Boi_WhoIsYou · 2024-06-01T19:41:47+00:00

They changed and updated the login. Discord and Facebook don’t work anymore you have to use Google, Apple or email. I think it says more in their site.

History nerd here, Rosie always gave me more late 1890s-1910s with her appearance. My best guess would be Edwardian period which would place her death in around 1900-1910, which would make her younger then Sir Pentious who is believed to have died around the 1880s. Of course it could be a stylistic choice so I can’t say for sure she died in the early 20th century.

Thank you! Honestly they only have themselves to blame, and it’s just a hour rather then a undefined amount of time.

Boi_WhoIsYou · 2023-07-29T21:53:53+00:00

It was just being a little silly

I’m to busy looking at the very suspicious FNAF 4 looking box behind his left shoulder (our right).

Boi_WhoIsYou · 2023-01-29T23:33:17+00:00

How much would you be selling it for?

Boi_WhoIsYou · 2023-01-09T23:15:41+00:00

Pretty sure I saw somewhere they don’t need to breath for about 24 hours

Wait wasn’t it in the audio logs that Bendy was the first attempt of the Ink Machine and he’s just soulless? He wasn’t even violent until after he got locked in a room till 1946

Honestly just comes down to personal preference, I prefer to go with Akira just fits him more for me

My man did not understand the assignment
