2022/2023 SEASON
The Red Shoes
Adapted and Choreographed by Megan Nicko
Director/Founder SiSu® Dance Company
We kicked off the summer with a brand new program - The SiSu® Dance Company Production for Summer 2023 was the premier performance of The Red Shoes.
Published by Hans Christian Andersen in 1845, The Red Shoes became a British drama feature film starring renowned dancers from the ballet world in 1948. SiSu® Dance Company's adaptation of The Red Shoes is based on Anderson’s tale.
The moral message is the tragic flaw of sin in the form of envy, jealousy, temptation, selfishness, and greed. The sinful nature of vanity and disobedience leads to the virtues of modesty and obedience. Megan Nicko choreographed and adapted the short story, giving it additional re-staging, new characters, story interest, and meaning.
SiSu® Dance Company is committed to continually bringing new and vibrant performances to the Albuquerque community that will encourage each one of us, dancers and ticket holders alike, to contemplate the way we live and what we live for. The story behind The Red Shoes holds a special place in our director's heart, who not only performed in an earlier version of this ballet but also felt compelled to take it even further, with special staging and meaning throughout the performance.
The Voice of Christmas
Written and Choreographed by Megan Nicko
Director/Founder SiSu® Dance Company
SiSu® Dance Company is pleased to once again bring to our community this unique production. The Voice of Christmas brings intimate insight into the importance of the holiday season for young and old alike. The birth of Jesus is entwined into the original Nutcracker story by having Marie receive not a nutcracker as a gift, but like each child at the Christmas party, Marie is given a piece from a small nativity scene. Marie and the rest of the children discover the story of the first Christmas from the family's grandmother.
Marie is then taken on a journey where she encounters the ever-present struggle between good and evil, culminating in experiencing our beloved Savior at birth. In celebration, she witnesses the beauty of dancers from many countries, all bringing their gifts of dance to the Savior. Finally, Marie falls asleep with a new meaning of why our Christmas tradition is truly precious and something to be celebrated.
Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite music is prevalent throughout the show, with additional music by various Christian artists.
We hope you'll tell others about The Voice of Christmas and make it a family holiday tradition!
Please save the dates: December 16 - 17, 2023. Tickets will go on sale October 1.
