Genée International Ballet Competition 2012 Genée International Ballet Competition 2019 Candidate Information Pack Mission Statement The Genée International Ballet Competition is dedicated to promoting and rewarding standards of excellence in young ballet dancers internationally. This is achieved by offering aspiring dancers the unique opportunity to work with world-renowned choreographers and professionals, as well as the chance to perform on an international stage. The Competition The Genée International Ballet Competition represents the pinnacle of achievement for young people trained in the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus. The competition identifies talented young dancers and often launches them into a professional career. The competition originated quite humbly in 1931 as the ‘Adeline Genée Gold Medal’ and was introduced as an additional incentive for candidates who had passed the Solo Seal examination. Felicity Garratt was the first recipient of this award; other medals were later added: the silver (1934), bronze (1956), and gold and silver for male dancers (1938). The award continued to progress and develop into a competition format and remarkably it has taken place almost every year since 1931, even during the Second World War. In 2002, Luke Rittner, the RAD’s Chief Executive, took the landmark decision to hold the competition outside London in order to embrace its international spirit, taking it to Australia where Sydney Opera House played host to a record number of candidates. Since 2002, the competition has been held in cities across the world including Singapore, Cape Town, London, Sydney, Lisbon and Hong Kong. In 2019, we are delighted that the Genée will be returning to Toronto, after its debut there in 2008.

This has become one of the most uniquely rewarding and challenging parts of the competition and as such, this section has been entitled Into the Unknown. Beginning on the second day of coaching, all candidates will work with the choreographer to workshop ideas that will eventually be incorporated into the finished solos. This reflects the way many choreographers create work today and all candidates will have the chance to contribute, and to benefit from, creating and perfecting the new solos. Dancer’s Own: Variation 2 – Performed at the semi-finals and final Candidates will be invited to perform a variation between 1.00 – 1.30 minutes duration (performed in pointe shoes for females), choreographed by themselves, their teacher or a peer to a piece of music of their choice. This section, Dancer’s Own, puts the creative process right at the heart of the Genée. Classical Repertoire variation: Variation 3 – Performed at the semi-finals and final Candidates will select one variation from the Classical Repertoire Variation list (see below at 2.4.1). 2.2 Semi-finals The semi-finals will be held at the Betty Oliphant Theatre, Canada’s National Ballet School, 404 Jarvis Street, Toronto, Ontario M4Y 2G6 on Monday 26 August (performance of class work for all candidates) and Tuesday 27 August (performance of Dancer’s Own solo and Classical Repertoire variation for all candidates) starting at 10.30am.

    VERONICA TENNANT, C.C. Contribution to DANCE in CANADA 1964-2018 During her illustrious career as Principal Dancer with The National Ballet of Canada, Veronica Tennant won a devoted following on the national and international stage as a dancer of versatility and dramatic power. At 18, the youngest Principal Dancer in the company Tennant was chosen by Celia Franca and John Cranko, for her debut as Juliet. She went on to earn accolades in every major classical role as well as having several contemporary ballets choreographed on her. She was chosen by, and worked with the legendary choreographers: Sir Frederick Ashton, Roland Petit, Erik Bruhn, John Neumeier and Jiri Kylian – and she in turn nurtured a younger generation of Canadian choreographers including James Kukelka, Anne Ditchburn, Constantin Patsalas and David Allan. For 25 years she danced across North and South America, Europe and Japan, dancing with the greatest male dancers of our time including; Erik Bruhn, Rudolf Nureyev, Anthony Dowell, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Edward Villella, Fleming Flindt, Peter Schaufuss, Niels Kehlet, Fernando Bujones, Ivan Nagy, Jean Pierre Bonnefous and Richard Cragun. She was blessed with her Canadian partners, from Earl Kraul (her first Romeo), to Lawrence Adams, Glenn Gilmour, Frank Augustyn, Sergiu Stefanschi, Kevin Pugh, Rex Harrington and Raymond Smith (her tenth Romeo). Two of the CBC television performances with Tennant in the title role; Cinderella and The Sleeping Beauty, won Emmy Awards. Her first, in Norman Campbell’s 1965 production of Romeo and Juliet won Le Prix Barthelmy in Monte Carlo.

    À propos de la Tournée nationale d’auditions de l’École nationale de ballet du Canada About Canada’s National Ballet School’s National Audition Tour About NBS’ National Audition Tour Tour Artistic Staff: Ashleigh Powell Deborah Hess Raymond Smith Alexander Gorbatsevich About NBS’ National Audition Tour Talent is the sole criterion for acceptance into NBS' full-time program. Admission to the Professional Ballet Program is based on a two-stage audition process. Every Fall/Winter, a team of Canada's National Ballet School artistic staff travel across the country on a National Audition Tour (NAT), stopping in 20 or more Canadian cities and towns and offering open classes and auditions. The NAT is the first stage of the audition process, while the Summer School Program is the second stage. Through NAT auditions, over 1,000 students apply for admission to the School's full-time program every year. Roughly 150 of these applicants are invited to join current NBS students for the intensive Summer School program in July, and of these, approximately 50 are offered a place in the full-time Professional Ballet and Post-Secondary Programs. Fees for the Professional Ballet Program are subsidized through government and private sector funding. In addition, an extensive bursary program is in place in the Ballet Academic Program (Grade 6 to 12 and the Post-Secondary Program) to ensure that no talented student is prevented from attending NBS because of financial circumstances. As a national training institution NBS offers bursaries to Canadian students and approximately half of all resident students receive bursary assistance.
