Dance Royal Winnipeg ballet performs with fervor by Richard Imprint staff
Preston

The Royal Winnipeg Ballet burst onto the stage at the Centre in the Square on ‘night, Monday November 12, and danced with a youthful fervor that, despite a few rough edges, in resulted delightful evening for the audience. The show consisted of five short works, each differing in style, choreocostuming, and 9-d-v, tempo, but all contributing to the upbeat atmosphere that dominated the night. The Winnipeg troupe got the show off to a fast start with a lively and rhythmic performance of “Allegro Brillante”, warming the audience’s eyes to a rapid fluidity of motion which would set the pace for the fiery “Le Corsaire Pas De Deux” to follow. This bounding, exotic piece
sparkled as the brightest jewel amidst the evening’s gems as Svea Eklof and Mark Lanham swirled and woared their way into the Byron’s .hear t of Lord poem about a slave trying t0 win the love of a beautiful vision. The weakest act of the performance was probably E j “Lento, A Tempo Apassionatb”, an interestingly staged effort’ that suffered because Sarah Lewis Slipper and Andre seemed unable to find a solid groove resulting in the numerous difficult moves appearing jerky and 17ncompleted. The finest lighting and choreography of the show emerged from Translucent Tones, where the entire ensembel moved through ) stages of vivid coiour and movement .and produced the best group effort of the night.
The nicest surprise of the evening lay in the final act of “Symphony in D”. After a good hour and a art, I still sat couthly in my tie, holding stuffv stuffy- tie, holding my breath and was caught off guard by spectacle which the unfolded before me. The troupe bounced, groped and frolicked onto the stage in a comedy of errors that set the audience roaring with laughter as women (and men) were thrown and barely caught, partners were lost and roles reversed, all unfolding in a delightful parodic I style. With. the “Symphony in b" to top off an elegant and interesting evening, I felt that both the audience and myself left the theatre feeling thoroughly entertained by such a spirited expression of fine performers in their art.
