RWB’s Executive Director Jeff Herd will be participating in tonight’s CEO Sleepout to help raise awareness about homelessness and poverty.

1 Night. Over 50 CEOs. $150,000 Fundraising Goal.
All in support of homeless employment programs and helping people off the streets. In 2011, we held our inaugural CEO Sleepout that challenged CEOs, community leaders and key decision-makers to raise awareness about homelessness and poverty. In the process, these participants helped raise over $100,000 for Change for the Better.

In celebration of our fairy tale season, we're partnering with the Millennium Library for a free book reading series for children ages 9-12 titled Three Royal Tales for each of our fairy tale story ballets! The first one kicks off this Saturday September 15th at 2 p.m. with a reading of The Princess & The Goblin by George MacDonald and includes a magical craft.

For the first time in nearly 50 years, Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet will be travelling to Massachusetts to participate in the 80^th Anniversary of the famed Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival from August 1-5, 2012.

Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival served as the platform for RWB’s launch onto the international scene in 1964, under the direction of the late Artistic Director Emeritus Dr. Arnold Spohr. RWB returns to the festival this year for a rare performance that includes three unique pieces that showcase the diverse repertoire and incredible talent of the Company, including Peter Quanz’s In Tandem, the pas de deux from As Above So Below by acclaimed choreographer Mark Godden, and Carmina Burana by world-renowned artist Mauricio Wainrot.
