ROYAL WINNIPEG BALLET


Q Dance June 10 to 12 at the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre’s John Hirsch Mainstage. Step into Peter Quanz’ choreographic laboratory with the next installment of Q Dance. Well known for innovative and aesthetically outstanding choreographic choices, this year’s dynamic Q Dance program is set to be a virtuosic collec- tion of contemporary ballet. The mixed repertoire program features two world premieres – a new creation from emerging creative talent, Gabrielle Lamb and a new creation by interna- tional choreographer, Peter Quanz.
