About this listen
It’s Nutcracker season… so let’s talk about it.
In this episode of The Aerial Alchemist, Fallon breaks down why The Nutcracker has become an outdated and creatively limiting tradition — from its messy origin story to the cultural stereotypes baked into many productions today. We talk about why certain sections no longer sit right, how this ballet has come to dominate December stages, and what that dominance costs the dance world.
This episode is an invitation to imagine something different: winter performances that are inclusive, intentional, and reflective of the many holidays and cultures celebrated this time of year.
