The Nutcracker (2021) | Scenography

The Nutcracker
Scenario for a ballet performance at Teatro Municipal da Covilhã, Portugal

Freelance project for Kayzer Ballet
Work Scenography
Year 2021

Thinking about Christmas inevitably brings to mind the Nutcracker, especially for those who are ballet dancers.
Briefing
"Within a one-month timeframe, we need a scenography featuring two easily assembled and disassembled houses. Transportability is crucial for quick stage transitions, and it's essential not to overshadow the dancers by minimizing stage space usage. The materials chosen should be lightweight and keep in mind the possibility of reusing them on future shows."

Development
To align with the director's specifications, I suggested the utilization of XPS foam boards. These boards can be easily cut, painted, and assembled. Incorporating small cuts in them would allow us to assemble the pieces just like oversized LEGO blocks. Notably, the director could consider reusing them as the boards wouldn't get too damaged.

This collaborative effort involved the active participation of both company dancers and the director, making it a truly cohesive team endeavor.
Thank you for viewing this project :)
