Critical Analysis Project: The Nutcracker

Project description
If you crave high culture during the Christmas season, you will probably turn to two classic productions: Handels Messiah (a portion of which we examined in Module 5) and Tchaikovskys The Nutcracker. The Nutcracker actually expands the dance art form to include much more of what we would expect in theatre than is usual in this medium. This makes the experience all the richer and provides additional clues to the story being told.

Using the outline given below, write a critical analysis of Act One, Scene One from Tchaikovskys The Nutcracker: The Nutcracker Ballet Video file1min 43 sec (minimum one-full page). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLyONiJZc84 Refer to the example at the end of Chapter 9 as a guide, but be sure to include the following expanded outline points:

Genre
Overall theme
Story line, movement (including the basic dance steps you recognize, mime and pantomime)
Characters
Costuming
Mise-en-scene (set)
Score (musical background)
Use of color
Lighting techniques
You will need to do some research to obtain information about the story, as we are only viewing the first part of the production.

Be sure to include a convincing, inclusive conclusion at the end of your critical analysis and a bibliography of at least two sources that you used to prepare your analysis
