“Our first program of our first full season is, in many ways, a homecoming,” says Ballet Vancouver Artistic Director Joshua Beamish. “Heather Ogden and many of our new company artists began their training right here in Vancouver before ascending to some of the world’s most celebrated stages, and it means so much to welcome them back to the city where their stories began. This program is a statement of what’s possible — that Vancouver can be a place where world-class ballet is created, not just admired from afar. For too long, classically-trained dancers in the city have had to leave home to pursue a professional career, and we’re proud to be changing that.”
