Creative Dialogues: 
Becoming Juliet 
Thursday, October 1, 7:30 pm

Curious about how a dancer prepares to portray the drama, romance and intensity of one of English literature’s most iconic heroines? This is your chance to hear directly from three of the artists who will take on the role of Juliet in the return of The National Ballet of Canada’s beloved production of John Cranko’s Romeo and Juliet. 

Creative Dialogues: Becoming Juliet will kick off our season of special 75th anniversary events. Join our Juliets, Principal Dancers Beckanne Sisk and Agnes Su and Second Soloist Isabella Kinch with host Veronica Tennant –  one of the National Ballet's most celebrated Juliets – for a candid discussion about the behind-the-scenes preparation that comes before the onstage drama.
