Performing in Montreal and some 10 North American and European cities for 100,000 spectators annually, the company of 35 dancers seeks to ensure the accessibility of the ballet to future generations. One of the country’s most highly reputed performing arts troupes, Les Grands Ballets acts both as presenter of some of the world’s most exciting ballet companies in Montreal, and, on tour, as cultural ambassador for Montreal and Canada. Critics everywhere laud the work of the company, which just celebrated its 50th Anniversary.

The company also produces free summer performances, and devotes certain shows to helping raise money for other charitable causes.

The Manitoba Arts Network has represented community organizations that deliver arts programming in rural & northern Manitoba since 1984. Our Board is made up of members representing each region of the province. Most of our members operate in small towns and communities at a considerable distance from Winnipeg, the arts & culture hub of Manitoba. The services and programs offered by Manitoba Arts Network assists our members to counter some of the obstacles caused by distance from the resources and opportunities available in Winnipeg. Our website is kept up-to-date with program information, links to resources, and free public access to directories of Manitoba presenters, performers available to tour in Manitoba, and visual artists with work for an exhibition and/or available for workshops. We deliver an annual showcase and professional development event to meet the arts programming needs and interests of community arts organizations in October.

Puppetmongers was established in 1974 by the sister and brother team of Ann Powell and David Powell. Between 1974 and 1989, we toured our shows for family audiences extensively to most major Canadian and US centres as well as in the UK, France, Belgium, Germany and Iran. Since 1990 we have focused on working nearer home, with the addition of short tours to festivals and theatre runs further afield. We create larger, more theatrical shows, involving many artists and self-produce our works in theatres. We have ventured into puppetry for adult audiences with several productions and work with other artists, such as on in composer R. Murray Schafer's Palace of the Cinnabar Phoenix. Most recently we mounted Charles Dickens’ Hard Times. We founded The School of Puppetry in 1996 with courses for adults, as a vehicle for disseminating our vision. This season the course is being incorporated into Humber College’s new Puppet Intensive Program.
