The Nativity is an original contemporary ballet depicting the traditional Christmas story of the birth of Christ. It is performed by Radiance Dance Company, for the second year, at the Basile Westfield Playhouse, 220 N. Union St., today and Saturday. It is a reverent and beautiful presentation of the biblical account.
Radiance Dance Company is a professional, contemporary ballet company committed to glorifying God through artistry.
The production is choreographed by Hannah Noel Winkler, owner and artistic director of Radiance Dance Company. An elegant portrayal, this ballet is captivating in a combination of beautiful color, variety of movement, and musical appeal. The six-person cast plays the roles of Mary and Joseph, Angels, Shepherds, Magi, and Innkeeper.
Radiance Dance Company has been performing original productions at the Basile Westfield Playhouse since their first performances in February 2021. Radiance has since opened a practice studio for the company in Carmel, also offering student classes. The remaining season includes Valentine’s Day at the Studio blackbox event in February, all-new and energetic Think on These Things in April, annual student production The Fiery Furnace in June, and the beloved Ruth and Boaz in August.
All photography, set designs, graphics, and bespoke creations are the work of partner and sister, Design Director Sarah Elizabeth Winkler.
