Nicole Perry’s publication urges critical reflection for movement educators

Various cast members of The Nutcracker at Ballet Theatre of Scranton pose and smile against a white background. They gaze at one another, wearing costumes from the show: tutus, a giant mouse costume, men in leggings and boots.

A Tale of Two Cities: “The Nutcracker” in Pennsylvania

Megan Mizanty

A behind-the-scenes look at a beloved annual performance.

A woman holds a full-size human skeleton model in her arms, meeting its gaze with puckered lips in an expressive, playful gesture. She wears a black shirt and is framed against a solid black background. Her body and the skeleton mirror each other, suggesting a dialogue between life and anatomical structure. The image appears on both a tablet and a hardcover book placed on a wooden surface, emphasizing the book's physical and digital presence.
