Matthew Bourne's "Nutcracker!" is a contemporary reimagining of Tchaikovsky's classic Ballet, set in a whimsical and slightly darker world. The story follows a young orphan named Clara who experiences a transformative journey from her dreary childhood in an orphanage to a fantastical land of sweets and adventure. The production features innovative choreography, striking visuals, and a blend of humor and emotion, all while retaining the essence of the original tale. It highlights themes of love, escape, and the wonder of imagination.

If you're new to contemporary dance I suggest you look at works by Christopher Bruce (Swan Song, Ghost Dances, Rooster are all good to start with) and for a light hearted piece try Matthew Bournes' Nutcracker!. If you like your art a bit more abstract try Richard Alston's Overdrive. If you like something darker & more theatrical try DV8 - Dead Dreams of Monochrome Men is very disturbing! Or Vtol (if you can get their stuff on Video or DVD) Hope you find something you like!
Clara is one of the main parts in the nutcracker. She is a young girl who gets a nutcracker for christmas. Her brother brakes it and she has a dream about her nutcracker coming to life. She got to dance with the nutcracker in her dream. Then her dream came to life.
No the swan dance was in "Swan Lake" also by Tchaikovsky
