Dancers, like all performing artists, like nothing better than to be challenged.

There's nothing like the force and challenge of a new ballet to galvanize everyone involved in bringing it to life.

We are delighted the government has made a bold investment in the talent and excellence of Canadian artists,

Know that there is so much more to you than your body. It's not just about perfecting the steps; you must trust your instincts to tell deep, emotional stories through the steps that you are performing.

Even if I had nothing to do with the Canada Council, I'd be praying for it.

It's a different era. Our job now is to show leadership and vision and to help the next generation of artists.
