nut/cracked

Nut/Cracked was conceived in 2003 as a holiday in a fluid dance world where dance genres collide and jostle each other with a genial clamor in celebration of the winter holidays. Co-commissioned by Dance Theater Workshop in New York City and The Carlo Felice Opera House in Ge­noa, Italy, Nut/Cracked has been performed every season since its inception (including during covid)!

"Parker emphasizes humor — gentle to hilarious — affection, and panache, using endlessly inventive rhythmic play. And, as only the greats can, everyone involved makes it look as effortless as breathing out and breathing in."

— Christine Jowers, The  Dance Enthusiast  05/28/25

“It’s a perfect little dance because it’s not merely ridiculous: it has heart.” – Gia Kourlas, The New York Times  12/21/12

“Many troupes tout their fusion of styles, but Parker and company deliver the goods, from the elegant, and campy to the sly and delightful.” - Claudia La Rocco, Associated Press  12/16/04
