AT LA N TA
Do you have a childhood memory of The Nutcracker? I grew up in the wilds of British Columbia thus theatre was not part of my childhood but music certainly was. I also was a figure skater which laid the foundation to go into performing arts albeit in the wings.
If so, how did your memories influence your work on this set? There are many memories of snow falling that certainly influence the first Act. But the other aspect is the longing for faraway places and foreign lands that I felt as a child.
