24 Preludes by Chopin is a gift from THE VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE, THE NATIONAL BALLET OF CANADA

Dance Canada Dance

The National Ballet of Canada will perform Marie Chouinard's startlingly beautiful 24 Preludes by Chopin at the Cultural Olympiad in Vancouver, British Columbia on February 13 & 14, 2010. Evoking passion, introspection and rebellion with every step, 24 Preludes by Chopin will enthrall audiences with its blend of startling physicality, surprising delicacy and oblique humour.

Ms. Chouinard made her debut with The National Ballet of Canada in 2008, setting her celebrated 1999 work, 24 Preludes by Chopin, on the company. 24 Preludes by Chopin will be presented as part of the company's 2009/10 season from March 3 - 7, 2010 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto, Ontario.

As part Dance Canada Dance, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet will also present Itzik Galili's trademark off-balance, hyper-kinetic movement, accompanied by rhythmic drumming, in Hikarizatto.

Queen Elizabeth Theatre
Hamilton Street at West Georgia, Vancouver
February 13 & 14, 2010 at 8:00 pm

Presented by:
The National Ballet of Canada, Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Government of Manitoba, the Government of Ontario and Ontario Arts Council

Reviews

24 Preludes by Chopin

"24 Preludes by Frédéric Chopin give[s] the National Ballet of Canada a fresh, edgy look... Chouinard's work is full of audacity and surprises – all the better to sharpen the National Ballet's cutting edge."

- The Toronto Star, 2008

"an evening of choreographic delights. The iconoclast Chouinard has deconstructed Chopin's quintessential romantic music to create quirky dances that reflect mood, emotion and beat, but as she hears them."

- The Globe and Mail, 2008

"It's white-knuckle stuff that unequivocally asserts dance's often evidentially disputable claim to be the most fundamental and relevant of performed arts. In short, go see it. You'll have no regrets."

- The National Post, 2008
