\n The Art of Creating the Pas de Deux<\/i>\n <\/h1>\n \n \n\n

During a 75-minute intimate, up-close encounter, attendees witnessed the creation of a powerful, lyrical, and athletic ballet pas de deux inspired by the world premiere of What Angels See<\/em>, a new composition by Professor James Wright<\/a> for piano and cello. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/header>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

The School of Dance, Carleton’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences<\/a>, and its School for Studies in Art & Culture<\/a> sponsored the event, which took place at the Carleton-Dominion Chalmers Centre on the evening of December 8th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hailed as one of the most outstanding Canadian choreographers and Artistic Directors of his generation, Jean Grande-Maitre<\/a> marked his return to Ottawa with The Art of Creating the Pas de Deux, an event that fused visual art, music, and ballet choreography.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Raphael Weinroth-Browne<\/a>, an internationally renowned Canadian cellist and composer, performed the composition alongside Wright.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

John Grand-Maitre, after hearing the new score for the very first time, created an entire duet to the never-before-heard score with special guest artists Rachele Buriassi<\/a> and Esnel Ramos<\/a>, who are both principal dancers with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens<\/a>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Watching expert, world-class dancers creating an athletic and emotional dance in an intimate space up close is a thrill, and those who experience it will never forget it,” says Grande-Maitre.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The event united five established artists, who instantly bonded and focused to produce a finished work of art in record time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The event served as a fundraiser for The School of Dance. In addition to their pre-Professional division, their programmes touch the lives of over 70,000 Ontarians with their Charitable Community Programmes and Projects, including DragonFly\u00ae for learners with Down syndrome, Boys Only! Classes, Connecting with Dance for people with Parkinson’s, and DanceONTour\u00ae, school visits designed to inspire interest in the arts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
