Waking up the NAC with Sleeping Beauty
In a blast from the past, the National Art Centre (NAC) presented the sold-out show that originally put the National Ballet of Canada on the map.
Karen Kain restaged Sleeping Beauty in 2006 as artistic director of the National Ballet of Canada. And from Nov. 5 - 7, talented ballet dancers from across Canada presented the classic show in Ottawa.
The performance included a pre-show chat with Kain on opening night where Cathy Levy, the NAC’s dance producer, interviewed her. Kain also opened the floor to questions from the audience.
Saving the planet, one CD at a time
Since its inception in 1970 Greenpeace has “grown from 11 activists in a fishing boat to becoming the largest and best-known environmental campaigning organization on the planet,” said John Timmins, creator of the group’s new fundraiser.
The environment protection group has just released a recording of the concert that birthed their group with the likes of Joni Mitchell and James Taylor.
A local artist in need deserves support indeed
The Council for the Arts in Ottawa (CAO), in partnership with the Royal Bank of Canada, will be offering a $5,000 cash prize to an up-and-coming artist in the national capital area.
The RBC Emerging Artist Award is part of CAO’s annual awards program and is designed to recognize artistic talent in the Ottawa region. RBC and CAO said they hope to help a fortunate recipient in further establishing their career.
