The NutCracker: The One-Man Show by Chris Davis



The Nut Cracker, just another holiday ritual? By the notorious, creator of the Drunk Lion, the retelling of a journey into Mexico, discovering Christmas’s raciest mythical creation by all time. A mix between an documentary, and fantastical retelling of a visit to the Philadelphia Ballet. In the haute culture of family fun, Chris raises the question to his audiences, How can this be? An Arabian dance, never danced by Eastern-Asian descent true to the story? With charisma and fearless delivery of a madman with a sweet adorable twist never before told to an audience, The Nut Cracker One-Man Show by Chris Davis features dance specific to technique and argues the difference between Contemporary Artists and dancers in a virtual discussion via IG with dance enthusiasts.

“Apocalypse Now” performed by Steve Wright

Classic themes like restorative justice from historical references like the work of William Shakespeare may be a helpful starting point. When we begin to reshape the public’s view of alternative, transformative, and political art on stage. The artist takes a turn in the matter, and framing themselves to embody these social roles for a performative spirit. When we watch for the work of an artist’s legitimacy, whether in the manner of popular media, current affairs or experimental medium, and fashion collaborative and contemporary trends, audiences breakout of an existing mold.

A cathartic experience, whether that be on stage or take part in festivals, or annual community theater asks for an corporeal response. On a subjective level we participate in manifesting characterization from all sorts: villain, hero, femme fatale, supporting role, or historical narrative. A psychological or cathartic, corporeal or spiritual act can take on biographical qualities which can then question the perceived truth of a factual character or time period.

So in this fashion of being –main stream– it can be easily predicted by Broadway standards in relation to the history of broadcasting and communication, urban design, and civil rights movements on a world stage when looking toward off-Broadway shows.

The ethics of institutions are exploring the sensory experience within the arts and sciences for social milieus in sociology. In the piecing together of diverse genres we take artwork by actors and actresses, dancers, comedians, and musicians instantly drawing references to the period in time. In an archival manner, we challenge perceptions of the powers that will, and predict certain followers, and channel our interests into changing mainstream trends.

Shakespeare in Clark Park is an organization that brings local artists to West Philly’s Clark Park. Public art performance collaborating with neighborhood organizations to adapt, and discover the repertoire of William Shakespeare. A timeless poetic language in performances such as Shakespeare brings with it nuances in common language, subliminal messages in a lyrical old-English prose.
