In an incredible coup for Ballet Kelowna, New York City's finest dancers will travel west to light up Kelowna's Community Theatre (1375 Water Street) with the anticipated Canadian premiere of The Ashley Bouder Project, March 3 at 7:30pm. New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Ashley Bouder, and an elite ensemble of the company's greatest artists, will present a performance experience of the highest caliber in the only Canadian engagement.
"Presenting these New York City Ballet dancers, some of ballet's best and brightest stars, in Canada, is such an amazing opportunity for us," said Ballet Kelowna Artistic Director and CEO, Simone Orlando. "Bouder's exquisite artistry and meticulously-honed technique will ensure that our Kelowna audience will be left in stunned silence! We are also delighted that the second act - showcasing the much-anticipated Canadian premiere of Rouge et Noir - has been choreographed by Kelowna native Joshua Beamish, in a welcome return to the region." Bouder will be joined onstage by fellow Principal Dancer Amar Ramasar and NYCB company artists Sebastian Villarini, Peter Walker and Indiana Woodward. Dancing since the age of six, Bouder first performed with NYCB in June 2000, was promoted to the rank of soloist in February 2004, and has been a celebrated Principal Dancer with the world-renowned company since January 2005.Videos
