After Tea is a new dance work that reimagines the Tea divertissement of The Nutcracker. Conceived by costume designer Harriet Jung, with choreography by Sugar Vendil and dancer Ruby Lister (NYCB), the piece takes the form of a considered artistic and scholarly response to a canonical work, reimagining its music, movement vocabulary, and design in dialogue with the original. The program presents a short film on the creative process, the original Balanchine staging, and live performance of the reimagined choreography. A conversation with the artists and CBA Interim Director, Meredith Martin, will follow.
