The National Theatre in Prague Hosts DANCE ON, An Open On-Stage Rehearsal of THE NUTCRACKER

DANCE ON is a new educational project that will take place at the New Stage, encompassing open classes, individual coaching and a choreography laboratory, within which the participants witness the gestation of new works. The Czech National Ballet has thus linked up to its holding dance workshops, pre-performance lectures pertaining to the specific production, podcasts and other special activities and projects.

The pilot instalment will feature an on-stage rehearsal of the wildly popular production The Nutcracker – A Christmas Carol. Have you ever been to a “speed-run”? This type of rehearsal is an integral part of the preparations for a performance, with all the cast dancing the entire production. You will have the opportunity to watch such a rehearsal under the supervision of the ballet master Alexey Afanasyev, observe his comments and instructions. Clad in training clothes, the dancers will be accompanied on the piano by a coach (or according to the recording)  – you will thus peep under the lid of our everyday work and see part of the preparations for a ballet production, which you will come to know from a different angle.

Do not miss out on the unique chance to witness artists and other professionals in action when preparing and giving rise to theatre magic, while adhering to specific rules.
