Crafts with Coppélia
Saturday, May 18, 2024 from 10-11AM
Idaho Ballet Theatre Studios
Many from the community joined IBT for Crafts with Coppélia. Idaho Ballet Theatre sold out of its first, Nutcracker Tea Party event this past December, so Coppélia needed her own party! IBT thought it would be fun for guests to bring their favorite dolls with them to this event.
“Crafts with Coppélia” guests enjoyed goodies, created a doll-themed craft to take home, and met the doll, Coppélia, as well as several other characters from the ballet. Guests stepped inside Dr. Coppelius’ toy workshop and explored the world of Coppélia!
A magical interactive story telling of Coppélia, with the Idaho Ballet Theatre featuring storytelling as dancers read and act out the whimsical story. Guests learned about a clever girl named Swanhilda who discovers a doll so lifelike, everyone thinks it’s real!
Crafts with Coppélia were able to see the costumes that were worn in IBT’s 2024 Spring production, met a the dancers, engaged in crafts, and took photos with these favorite characters, and experienced the timeless tale of Coppélia like never before! It was a truly unforgettable experience.
The Crafts with Coppélia event serves as a fundraiser to provide scholarships for IBT dancers.
