History

Ballet BC was founded as Ballet British Columbia by Jean Orr, David Y. H. Lui[3]:{{{3}}} and Sheila Baggs in 1986, with Annette av Paul as first Artistic Director. The company adopted its current name after financial problems and a restructuring in 2009.[1]:{{{3}}}[4]:{{{3}}}

Artistic direction passed to Reid Anderson, Patricia Neary and Barry Ingham and in 1992 to John Alleyne, who introduced a program with original choreography including his The Faerie Queen[5]:{{{3}}} in 2000 and dances by other Canadian choreographers. Alleyne was followed by Emily Molnar after the reorganisation in 2009.[1]:{{{3}}}

As of April 2015, the company is the only professional ballet company in British Columbia.[1]:{{{3}}} It is based in the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.[6]:{{{3}}}

Repertoire

Ballet BC presents a repertoire of contemporary ballet.[7]:{{{3}}}

The company opened the 2015 Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, presenting three dances each by a different choreographer including Twenty Eight Thousand Waves by their own resident choreographer Cayetano Soto.[8]:{{{3}}} The company is travelling on a 30th anniversary tour in late 2015 and 2016.[9]:{{{3}}}
