(251) Nicole Mitchell Mommen, NYCB Assistant Stage Manager, and Brandon Stirling Baker, Lighting Director and Lighting Designer of Boston Ballet
Summary: <br> On this episode of Conversations on Dance, recorded at the 2021 Vail Dance Festival, we give you an inside look at two roles that are essential to every dance and ballet performance. Today we are joined by NYCB Assistant Stage Manager, Nicole Mitchell Mommen, and Lighting Director and Lighting Designer of Boston Ballet, Brandon Stirling Baker. Nicole was the stage manager at Miami City Ballet for many years while we danced there, Brandon is Justin Peck’s go-to lighting designer, and both Nicole and Brandon were two of our earliest guests on the podcast. These two have worked very closely for years, so we thought Vail would be the perfect opportunity to have them back on the pod to talk about what lead them to the career they love and to hear more about their respective roles in the performances at the festival.<br> <br> <br> <br> LINKS:<br> <br> <br> <br> * This episode is brought to you by Yumiko (<a href="http://yumiko.com/">yumiko.com</a>).* More information on Universal Ballet Competition and 2021-2022 tour dates available on their website: <a href="http://universalballetcompetition.com/">universalballetcompetition.com</a>.* Get Michael Langlois’ book, ‘B Plus’: <a href="https://amzn.to/3jRuILP">https://amzn.to/3jRuILP</a>* Olive & June: get 20% off first-time customer’s order of any Olive & June system when you use code Dance20 at checkout. <a href="https://oliveandjune.com/?mct=vepYpDqx">oliveandjune.com/?mct=vepYpDqx</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Join our email list: <a href="https://bit.ly/3basX5g">https://bit.ly/3basX5g</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Instagram: <a href="http://facebook.com/conversationsondance">instagram.com/conversationsondance</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Facebook: <a href="http://facebook.com/conversationsondance">facebook.com/conversationsondance</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Facebook Group: <a href="http://facebook.com/groups/conversationsondancefriends">facebook.com/groups/conversationsondancefriends</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/convoondance">twitter.com/convoondance</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://conversationsondancepod.com/">conversationsondancepod.com</a><br>
