The season finale of Company Secrets: The Nutcracker Paradox closes with a powerful conversation featuring Sir Matthew Bourne, one of the most influential dance theatre makers of our time. Bourne reflects on his landmark 1992 Nutcracker, a bold reimagining that begins in a Dickensian orphanage and transforms into a vivid fantasy world, redefining how this holiday classic can tell an emotionally grounded story.
In this wide-ranging finale, Bourne shares his creative philosophy of finding the “big idea,” his deep respect for music as the foundation of storytelling, and his belief in humor, humanity, and audience connection as essential tools for making dance feel accessible. He also discusses why The Nutcracker remains a lasting gateway to the performing arts, his enduring relationship with the work more than 30 years later, and how New Adventures continues to evolve amid a changing global landscape.
A fitting close to the season, this conversation reflects on tradition, reinvention, and why The Nutcracker continues to matter.
