Artistic Director MADISON BALLET
W. Earle Smith, Artistic Director W. Earle Smith has over 25 years of professional experience choreographing, teaching and performing. This is Mr. Smith’s twelfth season with Madison Ballet as Artistic Director. As a dancer, D Magazine called Mr. Smith “meticulously chosen and prepared … who knows Balanchine.” The Wisconsin State Journal hails his choreography as “imaginative and … rhythmically smooth and lively,” with The Capital Times saying Artistic Director W. Earle Smith “more than delivered on every level.” Some of Mr. Smith’s principal and soloist credits with Texas Ballet Theater (formerly known as Fort Worth Dallas Ballet) include Balanchine’s Western Symphony, Four Temperaments and Who Cares, and Meija’s Sonata, Eight by Adler, Sarasate, Seasons, The Nutcracker and Cinderella. Favorite corps de ballet roles at Pacific Northwest Ballet and Fort Worth Ballet include Stowell’s Ravena, The Nutcracker (with sets and costumes designed by Maurices Sendak), Balanchine’s Stars and Stripes, Rubies, Western Symphony, Prodigal Son, Brahms Schoenberg, Agon, Concerto Barocco, Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, Square Dance and Scotch Symphony, and Meija’s Brahm’s Waltzes, Les Noches, Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. Mr. Smith’s preparation for his role as Artistic Director goes beyond the traditional. He worked as a program counselor for inner-city youth in New York City, as a financial and buiness analyst, and as director of special projects for a national membership association. Currently, Mr. Smith’s passion is passing on his knowledge and art through teaching and choreographing in the performing arts. He has taught workshops, conferences and master classes in the Balanchine technique and style both nationally and internationally, including guest teaching at Ballet Arizona, Ballet Pacifica and Ballet Chicago. Mr. Smith’s choreography credits in New York, New Orleans, Hawaii, Seattle, Texas and Madison include Cinderella, The Nutcracker, Night Dances, Le Luce d’ Amore, and Four Movements. Mr. Smith has long believed that collaborating with other performing arts organizations not only expands his own personal artistic growth, but strengthens the performing arts community as a whole. His work as choreographer in Children’s Theater of Madison’s Hello Dolly, Madison Symphony Orchestra’s Viennese Ball and Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra’s Halloween Concert demonstrates this commitment to collaboration. W. Earle Smith’s passion is sharing his love for ballet with young people. An important part of his artistic vision is to develop and expand education and outreach programs, making ballet affordable and accessible to all.

Nutcracker Synopsis MADISON BALLET
The Nutcracker is a holiday fairy tale about a young girl, Clara, and her favorite Christmas. Her Godfather, Drosselmeyer, is a magical, mysterious character in her life. This Christmas he has a special gift for her—a beautiful Nutcracker doll. She receives the present from him at the annual family party. Very excited about the new doll, Clara wants to stay up all night with it, but her family sends her off to bed. After everyone has left and the family is asleep, Clara sneaks downstairs to look at her Nutcracker doll. She eventually falls asleep and, with a little help from Drosselmeyer’s magic, her dream begins. Clara is awoken and startled to see mice in her room. The Rat King tries to kidnap her and take her to his kingdom. Clara frantically searches for her Nutcracker doll, but it it nowhere to be found. Suddenly, the Christmas tree grows to an enormous height and everything in the room seems out of proportion. Life-size toy soldiers come to her rescue, followed closely by a life-size Nutcracker! An exhausting battle ensues and the Nutcracker saves Clara from the Rat King while his soldiers defeat the army of rats. In a cloud of smoke, Clara is magically transformed into a young woman, and her Nutcracker Prince offers his hand, taking her on a journey to his magnificent palace in a special land. Their journey takes them through the glistening Land of the Snowflakes and, finally, to an enchanted garden. There they meet new friends from Russia, Arabia, Spain and Siam—all places represented by the party-goers of earlier in the evening. They also meet the beautiful Waltzing Flowers and the playful Pucinellas. Clara does not want to leave her handsome Prince or this beautiful garden, but on Christmas Day she awakens under the Christmas tree with all her new friends gone and her family around her. All that remains of her adventure is her Nutcracker doll and the wonderful memories of her most magical Christmas.
