On The Edge Tour 2025
About On the Edge:
The Royal Winnipeg Ballet School’s On the Edge tour has sent dancers on the road to share the power of ballet and other dance forms with new audiences in schools and community spaces for almost 50 years. Pioneered by the RWB in 1945, the famous ‘one-night stand’ model of touring the Prairies in a single 48 passenger bus was adopted by the School in the early 1970s. The touring rig includes lighting and sound equipment and a portable dance floor framed by 20’ black velour legs. It’s all-hands-on-deck as two artistic faculty members, one company/stage manager, and the dancers work together to transform the venue, sometimes a school gymnasium, into something resembling a theatre space in less than one hour. One thing that distinguishes School’s touring program is its impressive visual impact. Just like the Company before it, the School places the dancers front and centre, creating a spectacular performance for all to enjoy.
2025 Repertoire:
Experience the brilliance of tomorrow’s rising stars, the Anna McCowan-Johnson Aspirants, as they grace the stage with performances that showcase an extraordinary range of talent and artistry. Enjoy an intimate performance that will captivate fans of both classical and contemporary dance. From timeless masterpieces to bold new creations, On the Edge celebrates the RWB's 85-year artistic legacy while highlighting the Company’s ongoing spirit of innovation and creativity.
The performance will include excerpts from the enchanting comic ballet, Coppélia, a lighthearted tale of mistaken identity and true love. On the Edge will also feature a brand-new flamenco creation from RWB School Artistic Faculty Maritel Centurion, and new dynamic works from RWB Company dancers Emilie Lewis and Maggie Weatherdon. Former Company dancer and celebrated choreographer Yosuke Mino will debut a powerful duet exploring connection and loss between two women. Ballet Austin Company Member Sahel Flora Pascual will create a piece commissioned through Pathways to Performance, a
program in partnership with Memoirs of Blacks in Ballet designed to engage Black choreographers in a meaningful way with dance companies. Up-and-coming
choreographer from the Anna McCowan-Johnson Aspirant Program, Grace FrazerSneddon, will premiere a group piece exploring the monotony of routine and the confinement of expectations.
