The prodigal daughters came back from Paris whence they had fled in search of intellec­ tual and artistic inspiration. Fran<;oise Riopelle and Jeanne Renaud teamed up ' as the founders of a small troupe. To­ gether with dancers from Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Vincent Warren and Peter Boneham, they tried to reach out to a wider public. It was not until 1966, with the found­ ing of Le Groupe de la Place Royale by Renaud and Boneham that all these earlier labours bore fruit - but the long process of gestation had been necessary. Soon after, Martine Epoque nurtured a company of her own into existence, Le Groupe Nouvelle Aire, and the phe­ nomenon of a new kind of dance began to excite and attract artists from other fields. It was as if an oasis had material­ ized in what had formerly seemed to be only an arid desert. The dancers were no longer nomads in this desert. They had set up camp and the curious and needy flocked in search of good modern dance training and per­ haps even a chance to perform. Most of the pioneers, those who gave life to the desert. have remained faithful to the dance - even if sporadically.

  • Vincent Warren Has Passed Away
    PRESS RELEASE For immediate distribution VINCENT WARREN HAS PASSED AWAY Montréal, October 26, 2017 – It is with great sadness that Les Grands Ballets learned this morning of the passing of Vincent Warren (1938–2017), a legendary company dancer from 1961 to 1979, teacher and dance historian and the former curator of the Library of Dance. “Vincent Warren helped shape the world of Quebec dance, not only with his immense talent, but also with his big heart and his love for his art,” noted Alain Dancyger, Executive Director of Les Grands Ballets. “His BALLET NATIONAL many accomplishments as a Grands Ballets principal dancer, teacher D’UKRAINE and curator are remarkable. He was instrumental in immortalizing the key events that marked Quebec’s history, just as he marked the history of Les Grands Ballets in turn.” A native of Jacksonville, Florida and an American Ballet Theatre scholarship winner at age 17, Vincent was dancing for the Metropolitan Opera Ballet in New York City when he met Ludmilla Chiriaeff in the early 1960s and received an invitation to join her newly founded company, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. It was the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration that lasted until 1979, when Vincent retired after years of interpreting the great roles of the classical repertoire and more contemporary works, such as those by George Balanchine, Maurice Béjart and John Butler and Les Grands Ballets choreographers Ludmilla Chiriaeff, Fernand Nault and Brian Macdonald. For his farewell performance (1979), the latter dedicated the solo Adieu Robert Schumann to none other than Vincent. As a dancer, Vincent embodied an ideal of beauty, charisma, expressivity and sensitivity.
