Join Ballet BC Manager of Education and Engagement Heather Myers for a completely unique multi-disciplinary series focusing on the themes of Ballet BC’s season opening program, DAWN. Rather than focusing on the instruction of technique or repertoire, this expressive arts series centres on themes explored within the DAWN repertoire, and the unique interpretation of individual participants.

Engage in movement, drawing, writing, self-reflection and dialogue as a meaningful way of relating to the performance, which features works by Pierre Pontvianne, Imre and Marne van Opstal, and Vancouver’s own Crystal Pite.

This five-week Creative Immersion series offers participants a way to connect dance to their own life and deepen their personal creativity.

All are welcome, open to ages 18-98. No experience necessary.
