    Dance group puts twist on holiday taleBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    The Alborada Spanish DanceTheatre is putting a new spin on aclassic holiday tale. The originalproduction El Sueno, or TheDream, is a Spanish dance showbased on Tchaikovskys TheNutcracker.

    It follows the trajectory of The Nutcracker in that its abouta young girl at a holiday celebra-tion and her dream, creator andPrinceton resident Lisa Botalicosaid. Its set in a Spanish plazaduring the Three Kings Day Festi-val, which is a big holiday in His-panic cultures.

    The plot follows Clarita, ayoung Spanish girl who is given amatador doll by her Tia Maria.Clarita falls asleep and dreamsher matador doll has come to life.

    Botalico said the idea for ElSueno was born while she waschoreographing an Arabiandance infused with flamenco.

    It reminded me of the Arabi-

    an dance from The Nutcrackerballet, she said. And I thoughtabout how Spanish dance has somany influences. The Spanishculture is so rich a tapestry, andits reflected in its music anddances.

    Botalico wrote the shows syn-opsis in 2006, and it was first per-formed in 2007.

    El Sueno incorporates GypsyFlamenco, traditional Mexican,

    Peruvian, Argentinean and clas-sic Spanish folk style dancing.

    Botalico said the show pro-vides a fresh take on a well-known musical score.

    Everybody knows what musicto expect when they go to TheNutcracker, she said. Theres a

    set score and youll see somethingeverybody knows. When youcome to our show, we create ourown music and its totally new tomost of the audience. Most havenever seen so many differenttypes of Spanish dance all in oneplace. This is a wonderful family

    alternative to the traditional,while still maintaining the sameemotional aspect.

    Botalico, who is trained in clas-sical Spanish dance and flamen-co, has been dancing since 1985.In 1999, she founded the chil-drens flamenco dance program

    at the Princeton Arts Council.Valerie Aguilar, a PhD candi-

    date in French literature atPrinceton University, has beenstudying flamenco under Botalicosince 2010. This year Aguilar willbe dancing in El Sueno for thesecond time.

    This year Im doing moredancing than I was doing lastyear, she said. I think flamencobrings something unique to TheNutcracker that ballet doesnt.People who havent seen it fromthis point of view will be pleas-antly surprised.

    El Sueno features traditionalSpanish costumes handmade by alocal Princeton artist.

    The costumes are remark-able, said Eva Lucena. Theytake after the paintings of Fran-cisco Goya. The costumes for thePeruvian dances emulate the con-quistadors. Theyre spectacularand historically accurate. In ourcross-culture programs we try toeducate the public. Thats howwere getting our niche in the

    world.Aguilar said she thinks audi-ences will appreciate the huge dif-ference between ballet and fla-menco.

    Ballet is about being light andflying, she said. But flamencooriginated with the gypsies. Theywere a strong group of peoplewho were being persecuted and

    Special to The SunTwo of the Kings, in costumes designed by a local artist, perform with members of the childrensensemble in El Sueno.

    2 THE PRINCETON SUN DEC. 5-11, 2012

    This holiday season, Princetonresident 13-year-old Annika Gold-man will mark her 100th appear-ance on the McCarter Theatrestage in A Christmas Carol.

    Goldman has been performingin the holiday classic at McCarterfor the past four years, and hasappeared in different roles eachyear.

    This year I am playing therole of Martha Cratchit, the olderCratchit daughter, and a poor car-oler, she said. My first year Iplayed the Fezziwig Party Girl,

    which involved lots of festivedancing. Year two and three Iplayed the Spirit of ChristmasPast.

    Goldman has become very in-vested in her role as MarthaCratchit.

    Martha is a child laborer for asewing factory, she said. At thebeginning of rehearsals our di-rector Michael Unger showed us

    a film aboutchildren work-ing in terriblesituationsaround theworld today.As Martha Ithink aboutthat film alot.

    Goldmansaid she hasappreciatedthe opportunity to grow and ma-ture through her involvement

    with the show.With each role I have learned

    more about the message of AChristmas Carol, she said. Play-ing different roles has stretchedme as an actress and has givenme different perspectives throughwhich to view Scrooge and therest of the play as well.

    Goldman has become a seniormember of the Young Ensemble,

    and she endeavors to be a rolemodel to the younger and less ex-perienced members of the cast.

    I love sharing my excitementwith them and watching them asthey experience it all for the firsttime, she said. Since I know theplay and traditions so well I try tohelp the younger actors whenthey dont understand some-thing.

    Goldman, who is in seventhgrade at Princeton Day School,takes acting classes with local act-ing teacher Jody Wood. Last sum-

    mer, she attended the InterlochenAcademy of the Arts in Michi-gan, and this summer she will at-tend Stagedoor Manor in NewYork.

    Gigi Goldman, Annikas moth-er, said her daughters involve-ment with the McCarter Theatrehas been invaluable to her growth

    Alot of things impact the econo-my, perception perhaps beingone of the greatest influences.

    We often hear about consumer confi-dence and why it is essential to getthings moving in the right direction.When consumers feel secure in their

    job and finances, they are more likelyto open their wallets and spend more.The added dollars help the economy.

    A couple of weeks ago, the New Jer-sey Business & Industry Associationannounced that business confidence insales, employment and profits hasclimbed to a five-year high. Accordingto a press release, almost one in fivebusinesses responding to the groupsannual fall survey anticipate hiringmore workers in 2013. When you sub-tract the percentage of businesses an-

    ticipating job cuts, the net percentageof companies anticipating the need tohire additional workers is 8 percent,the highest in five years.

    To put it into more perspective, thepercentage of confident companies in2005 was 19. In 2009, it was a minus 3.

    Now, we have to point out that thesurvey took place about a month be-

    fore Hurricane Sandy so there proba-bly is some sentiment change. The bil-lions of dollars in damage from the

    storm no doubt hurt the economy.But the overall positive business sen-

    timent is reason to rejoice.If the survey is accurate, more peo-

    ple will be purchasing goods and serv-ices next year. Businesses will be mak-ing more money, and, in turn, will be

    hiring more people to get the job done.Good news such as this has been a

    long time coming. Clearly, the economyisnt zipping along as it was back in theaforementioned 2005. But it also isshowing a lot of signs of life. Morebusinesses saying they feel good abouttheir future is a really big sign.

    So let the holiday season carry on.Its off to a great start. More jobs and astronger economy no doubt are on theholiday wish lists of many residentsthis year.

    in our opinion

    Confidence buildsNews that more businesses are confident about the future should be celebrated

    Back in businessNews that businesses in New Jerseyare feeling more confident in theirfutures and anticipate hiring more peo-ple next year is the holiday gift a greatnumber of residents wanted.

    Thirty-seven years ago, someone sug-gested that Santa fly into the airport for the

    area children watch. Over the years thisevent has evolved into a wonderful annualevent for families and those less fortunate.

    The tradition will continue on Christ-mas Eve day when the Nierenberg family,owners of Princeton Airport, will open thehangar doors to area children while theyawait Santas arrival. The event began at aneighboring airport and the Nierenbergsbrought the tradition to the Princeton Air-port in 1985. This year the event will beheld on Monday, Dec. 24. Airport ManagerKenneth Nierenberg (a.k.a. Santa) has con-firmed Santas arrival time to be 11 a.m.

    Participants come from far and wide forthis happening. If you wish to have yourchildren participate in the event, pleasebring a wrapped gift for each child with thename in large print to the lobby of the air-port. If you have several children, wrap the

    gifts in the same paper and tie them togeth-er to expedite the distribution. Gifts should

    be no larger than 12 inches to accommo-date Santa.On the day of the event adults are ad-

    vised to bring the children prior to 11 a.m.and wait in the Maintenance Hangar.While waiting, members of the PrincetonAirport Flying Tigers will be servingcocoa and cookies. Ms. Pat McKinley, alocal folk singer, will lead the audience in avariety of holiday songs. Chris Maslankawill provide the sound system. Santa willcall in on the airplanes radio to confirmhis ETA (estimated time of arrival).

    Once contact has been made with Santa,everyone will proceed outside onto theramp in front of the hangar where theycan watch Santa fly low over the runway.After he lands, Santa and everyone elsewill go into the hangar and Santa will dis-tribute each gift individually.

    The event will be held regardless of theweather conditions. Parents will have the

    opportunity to take pictures of their chil-dren on Santas lap. Typically the distribu-tion lasts about an hour and a half.

    The most important feature of thisevent is the collection of gifts for needychildren. If you plan to participate, you arerequired to bring new unwrapped gifts of clothing, books, or toys. These gifts arebeing collected and distributed throughthe Mercer County Board of Social Servic-es. Although toys are a common donation,items such as scarves, mittens, and otherarticles of clothing are welcome. Personalchecks made out to the FoodBank Net-work of Somerset County will also be col-lected. The airport will have a containerfor the public to donate canned or boxedfood to help the local food banks in this par-

    Santa Claus will fly into Princeton Airport

    DanceVision is thrilled to an-nounce the return of its originalballet, The Snow Queen, choreo-graphed by Artistic Director RisaKaplowitz. This fresh holiday bal-let premiered to sold-out audi-ences last year at Kendall Theaterat The College of New Jersey, andwill return Dec. 15 and 16 with anadded show to accommodate thepopularity of the new holiday tra-dition.

    Local residents and DanceVi-sion Performance Company

    members Nicole DeMentri andEmily Pollack have been cast inthis original ballet. DeMentridances the parts of Ice Maiden,Snow Queen Attendant, Flowerand Robber Girl. Pollack dancesthe roles of Snow Bee and Girl inWaiting.

    DanceVision provides the high-est level dance education and per-formance opportunities while fos-tering artistic excellence and pro-fessionalism among youngemerging dancers. DeMentri and

    Pollack are excited to be a part of this professional quality produc-tion, performed right in theirown community.

    Presented by the DanceVisionPerformance Company, The SnowQueen tells the tale of a younggirls courageous journey to res-

    cue her beloved from the beauti-ful, yet evil Snow Queen. Basedon the classic Hans Christian An-dersen story, the ballet is per-formed to an original score thatincludes music by Rimsky-Kor-sakov and Edvard Grieg. In addi-tion to the enchanting and spirit-ed music and the unique and ex-citing choreography, The SnowQueen features projection art-work as its backdrop. Throughthis engaging technique, the audi-ence is carried on a journey with

    the characters as they dance fromthe lively Scandinavian villagesquare to the Snow Queens frigidice castle.

    DanceVisions dedication to en-riching the community with qual-ity dance experiences is exempli-fied through this production.

    The Snow Queen provides afresh take on a classic tale; it isriveting and intricate in its at-tempt to bring literature to lifethrough dance. The story is mag-ical and compelling. It has all the

    components of a great tale: ad-venture, humor, joy, and heart.The cast of characters is so di-verse and fun; it includes robbers,a sorceress, doves, a raven, icemaidens, snow bees, a prince andprincess, and even a devil, ex-plains Artistic Director Risa

    Kaplowitz. Adults and childrenalike will enjoy the story, and thecharacters that guide the audi-ence through it.

    When it debuted in 2011, TheSnow Queen blew a breath of fresh air into a stale holiday the-atre scene. Rather than attendingyet another Nutcracker perform-ance, New Jersey families flockedto this original holiday ballet; andthey were not disappointed. "Iwas absolutely blown away by the[ballet]. I couldnt stop talking

    about it. Everything was so beau-tiful: the colors, the lighting, thecostumes, the telling of the storyand of course the dancing. I lovedit! commented Jody Wood, Direc-tor of JW Actors Studio, after thepremiere event last December.Dont miss out on this special hol-iday event that has the communi-ty raving!

    The Snow Queen will be per-formed Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. and Dec.16 at 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. at KendallTheater, The College of New Jer-

    sey. Tickets start at just $20 andare on sale now at www.dancevi-sionnj.org or by phone at 609-771-2775. Group discounts are avail-able for organizations as well asstudent/senior discounts. Formore information, [email protected].

    The Historical Society of Princeton hosted a party on Sat-

    urday, Nov. 17 to celebrate the re-installation of the Updike wind-mill. Visitors enjoyed exploringthe beautiful grounds of the Up-dike Farmstead, as well as threenew exhibitions in the galleries of the restored late eighteenth andearly nineteenth century farm-house. Guests also enjoyed brows-ing the incredible jewelry of BradReh Estate Jewelry and partakingin seasonal refreshments.

    The original windmill, whichcan be seen in several photo-graphs in the Farmhouse historygallery, was taken down in 2006for safety reasons and rebuilt byE&R Windmills out of Bethel, PA.The project was underwritten bygenerous contributions fromSteve and Treby Williams andAnn Lee Saunders Brown. Theproject was managed by architectRonnie Bregenzer, who generous-ly donated her time and services.Baxter Construction poured thefoundations and also provided a

    generous donation to the project,as did project engineer HarrisonHamnett. The pump house waspainstakingly refurbished bySam Pirone. The windmill, whichretains the original tank struc-

    ture, is an iconic feature of theFarmstead, which will be the cen-

    terpiece for new environmentalprograms on site.

    Also dedicated at the party wasthe Sipprelle Unity Garden, madepossible by a generous donationfrom Scott and Tracy Sipprelle.The Unity Garden is now at thecore of education programs onhealth and wellness, and some of the produce grown is being donat-ed to area organizations. In Octo-ber, student volunteers from thePrinceton Friends School har-vested spring mix lettuce thatwas used in a Cornerstone Com-munity Kitchen (CCK) dinner atthe Princeton Methodist Church.Windmill Party guests brought

    juice boxes and paper productsthat were donated to the CCK,which works in partnership withthe Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
