	Angela Harriell is the director and choreographer of the popular Nutcracker: Rated R, as well as the founder and choreographer of the cabaret dance troupe, The Love Show. Her choreography has been called witty, moving, unique and theatrical with narratives that are simultaneously autobiographical and universal. Richmond Shepard, publisher of Performing Arts Insider, writes the brilliant Angela Harriell... could be the next Susan Stroman. A graduate of Fredonia University, where she received The Graduate Scholarship for ballet, she has worked with Elisa Monte and David Brown dance, Randy James Danceworks, and taught ballet at Binghamton University. Angela’s work has been seen at The Flea Theater, HERE theater, The New York Burlesque Festival, White Wave Dance Festival, The Philly Fringe Festival’s Late Night Cabaret, and different nightclubs throughout New York, and she has set original works for Jerboa Dance of Seattle as well as Key West Contemporary Dance in Key West, Florida. Cointreau and Vogue magazine have commissioned pieces from her, and she has created and directed two off off Broadway productions, the most recent, Nutcracker: Rated R, selling out in its runs over the past three seasons. Her work has twice been selected 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 a Hammerstein Beauty at Simon Hammerstein’s notorious downtown supper club, The Box, and also performs with Brooklyn Ballet, Brooklyn Repertory Opera and Opéra Français de New York. She has been spotted amongst the glitterati in the pages of Patrick McMullan’s website, and has appeared in several television and music video spots, including an ABC Primetime documentary on connections in the dance world, as well as an STD awareness video with Alan Cumming.
