and Memo
Members are invited to buy tickets before they go on sale to the general public. Tickets go on sale for the general public starting October 6th.
Nimbus Dance, reconceives Prokofiev’s iconic musical story, Peter and The Wolf, as Peter/The Wolf, where Peter and the Wolf are different sides of the same character, and the classical score is interpreted through an American folk music lens by renowned composer and multi-instrumentalist Tim Eriksen. With puppets by Vermont’s Sandglass Theater, and scenic design by painter Susan Brearey, Nimbus’ trademark creativity and originality bring to life this story of the wildness and the courage within us and around us.
Peter/the Wolf is suitable for all ages. The program will also include Memo, a signature work, performed by Nimbus’ company dancers and an intergenerational cast of residents from the Morristown community.
Nimbus Dance is known for its physically astounding and visually captivating aesthetic. Founded in 2005 by Artistic Director Samuel Pott (former soloist of Martha Graham Dance Company), the Jersey City-based company masterfully bridges world-class performances and community engagement. Nimbus creates powerful dances that captivate audiences of all ages and interests with dances that are narrative and relatable. Pott and his dancers capture resonant and timely topics with refreshing honesty, witty humor, and an enduring optimism.
Nimbus’ unique style is lauded for its versatility, described as “splitting the difference between traditionalism and modernism… pivoting from ballet to Broadway to Beyoncé in a few beats” (Tris McCall, Jersey City Times). With an international company of dancers, Nimbus reaches 16,000 people annually, performing throughout the NJ/NY area and nationally, including with the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood.
