Join Principal Dancers Mark Tucker and Danielle Tolmie for a little recap of 2020 and some things to look forward to in the New Year.  At the end of the segment stay tuned as some of the dancers of Eugene Ballet share their goals for 2021.

In today's episode I sit down with our Resident Choreographer Suzanne Haag and Associate Artistic Director Jennifer Martin. Both long time dancers with the company, we recount numerous Nutcracker stories and antics that have occurred over the years.  We explain backstage competitions,  party scene games, battle scene carnage, and much more.  Enjoy.

Antonio is the Artistic Director of Instaballet.  He is creative and existential by nature and has a very unique and deep way of thinking about dance.  During our conversation we discuss what he enjoys most when watching a dancer, the live art industry’s forced shift to digital experiences in viewing performances, and his dance training. We also talk about what it was like to dance for Disney and how his exposure to musical theater helped improve his confidence. We finish up by reminiscing about our childhood together and how Instaballet has changed his view of what the audience experiences in a show.

Tune in as the dancers of Eugene Ballet share what they are thankful for.  Have a healthy happy holiday.
