BC Touring Council’s Artistic Company of the Year Award
Ballet Kelowna is honoured to have received the 2024 Artistic Company of the Year award from the British Columbia Touring Council.
The nominators wrote:
”Over the past decade, the ballet world has undergone rapid transformation led by a new generation of visionary Artistic Directors. Several regional ballet companies have evolved and earned their place among those actively commissioning some of the most innovative dance creations in Canada. Among these trailblazing companies is the winner of tonight’s award.
Cameron Fraser-Monroe’s The Cowboy Act Suite is a work that explores the dichotomy between “Cowboys and Indians.” While these caricatures have been portrayed on pages, stages, and in films, they are often penned from a colonial perspective. Fraser-Monroe’s intuitive take on the swashbuckling strut of the Cowboy informs this intellectual unpacking of a one-sided lens and flips the script to ask, what happens when an Indian directs the Cowboys through their history? The Cowboy Act Suite will be paired with two other signature works from Ballet Kelowna’s repertoire.
