Becoming

The Conservatory invites the entire Kingston region to our annual gala performance, Becoming, featuring the collaborative works of our dance community (ages three through adult), as they showcase their growth and artistry. Join us to celebrate discovery, creativity and wonder as dancers explore the gifts that reside in the collective power of community, in the world around us, and within each of us. Becoming is a performance accessible to, and suitable for, all ages, that shares the joy and power of artistic expression as we grow as artists and as people. The transformative power of storytelling will be featured in the glorious colour, culture, music, and movement of diverse dance genres. In celebration of the hopes and wishes that inspire us, Act II will feature a fresh retelling of the Dream Ballet from Raymonda, as our dancers demonstrate how we can harness our creativity and embrace cultural evolution as dance ambassadors to breathe new life, relevance, sensitivity, and inclusion into traditional stories. Moonbeams, Wishing Stars, Will o’ the Wisps and Dream Weavers await to light your way and guide you into the enchanted world of dreams where we celebrate the journey of becoming our most authentic selves. Becoming is a beautiful, magical production of the dreams that move us, and the destinies that shimmer on our horizons.
