| Chocolate Nutcracker... |
The Chocolate Nutcracker, now in it's 12th year, has been a community project consisting of over 200 children from the Tampa Bay area. As one of the most talked about productions, Life Force has presented and produced, “The Chocolate Nutcracker, for the third year. The prodution will again be a spin on Tchiakovsky’s classic, beginning with a Harlem Renaissance swing setting and then taking the audience to Jazzland, Gospeland, Land of Funk, Africa, Brazil and many more experiences. This production is considered one of the holiday seasons best. Training of 150-200 youth for twelve weeks provides many youth the opportunity to experience arts education from professional artists nationally, performance and behind the scenes production within a professional performance theater and an interactive performance experience unparalled to any other.
Last year in addition to our production, our company members toured with this production and performed for thousands in Columbus, Ohio, and Orlando, Florida, with this year adding Birmingham, Alabama, Jacksonville, Florida, Atlanta, Ga., as well as in New York at the Apollo Theater.
In October 2008, our organization contracted with the City of Clearwater to continue the Cultural Plan by providing performing and arts education activities day and night at their Kings Highway facility which is now the permanent home for Life Force Cultural Arts Academy.
