Report from the Artistic Director 2008/2009

The 2008/09 school year marked my 20th anniversary as Artistic on the glorious relationship between form, movement and Director of Canada’s National Ballet School. The primary focus dramatic intent, rather than form alone. The mandate for the within this year, and the proceeding two decades, was the ongoing Physiotherapy department was repositioned to go beyond evolution of NBS’s Professional Ballet Program, the School’s preventing injuries to assisting individual students to explore epicentre. While the breadth of NBS' programming is a valued more fully their potential. We initiated more regular performance reality, these activities strengthen the School's core program. appraisals between individual students and their daily ballet teacher. The overriding quest is not simply to train gifted students to become beautiful professional dancers but to educate them in Performance presentations were adapted to incorporate the a healthy, balanced environment to fulfill their potential as range of repertoire found within today’s professional ballet creative human beings. companies—classical, 20th-century and contemporary—and also encouraged the students to choreograph themselves.

of core values and shared ideals and the results are inspiring. There is now a determination for staff and students alike to have a clearer sense of their roles and responsibilities, including a ballet- appropriate definition of rigour, discipline and self discipline.

These ideas clearly resonate for others as NBS’ gifted artistic faculty are regularly invited to lead professional development forums around the world—most frequently in Scandinavia and Spain. On a personal note, I was very moved to receive an Honorary Doctorate in Humanities from Mount Saint Vincent University in October 2008.

Possibly most significant is the success of our graduates, 95% of whom find employment in dance companies across Canada and around the world. With NBS now celebrating its 50th Anniversary and alumni having been in the field for decades, many are in leadership roles as Artistic Directors of international companies and schools. As well, the diversity of the students’ dance education is clearly working as two boys were recently selected from world-wide auditions to play the leading role in Billy Elliot, one on Broadway and the other in the Chicago production being launched in February 2010. With respect to recruitment into the Professional Ballet Program, an increasing number of boys are applying to NBS and our Junior School enrolment is now close to being 50% male. The standard of talent overall is excellent. With our Residence facilities officially completed in October 2008, these adolescents are now housed in the best possible conditions.

In terms of the role of ballet in today’s world, I believe civilization needs dance artists more than ever before. They are the inspirers of human dreams. At NBS we have the privilege of guiding gifted young human beings to explore the original intent of theatre as framed a millennia ago by the Greeks—to make visible the divine.
