The National Ballet of Canada returns to Harbourfront Centre in August with Sharing the Stage, free outdoor performances on the Concert Stage as well as free dance classes and interactive conversations.
Sharing the Stage gives audiences the opportunity to re-engage with live dance in multiple forms. We are thrilled to welcome guest artists Holla Jazz, Rock Bottom Movement, Tanveer Alam and Samantha Sutherland who join us as part of the Creation Residencies programme and will share the stage with the National Ballet for live performances under the stars on the Concert Stage.
