Angela Harriell is the director and choreographer of the popular Nutcracker: Rated R, as well as the founder and choreographer of the theatrical dance company, The Love Show. Her choreography has been called witty, moving, unique and theatrical, with narratives that are simultaneously autobiographical and universal. A graduate of Fredonia University, where she received The Graduate Scholarship for ballet, she has danced with Elisa Monte and David Brown dance, Randy James Danceworks, Brooklyn Ballet, Opera Francais De New York, The Box, and was a professor teaching ballet at Binghamton University. Angela’s company; The Love Show, has been seen at Theater for The New City, The Flea Theater, HERE theater, The New York Burlesque Festival, The New York Fringe Festival, White Wave Dance Festival, The Philly Fringe Festival’s Late Night Cabaret, House of Yes (earning her a New York Innovative Theatre Awards Outstanding Choreography nomination), and different nightclubs throughout New York. She has set original works for Jerboa Dance of Seattle as well as Key West Contemporary Dance in Key West, Florida. Cointreau, Vogue magazine, The BBC, and Dom Perignon have commissioned pieces from her, and she has created and directed three original Off Broadway productions, the most recent, Nutcracker: Rated R, selling out in its runs over the past seven seasons. Her work has been selected three times to be presented at special galas at the National Arts Club, where Angela has performed along with such luminaries as Elaine Stritch, Tammy Grimes, Charles Busch and Julie Halston. Angela was commissioned to create original choreography for the New York screening of The Antics Roadshow, a new film by Banksy. Angela also taught dance at Lincoln Center for Midsummer Night's Swing. The New York Post and many other publications have praised her choreography, and The New York Times sent a reporter to follow her troupe's exploits last Bastille Day.
