Role: Lead Producer
A durational, interactive, public art exhibit and event series in celebration of the National Ballet of Canada's 60th anniversary.
The final collection included costumes from great moments in the company's history and 60 original tutus created by artists, designers, community groups, audience members, staff and creative partners from across the globe.
The program culminated in a national event series, 2 exhibits, a book, a poster and multiple virtual museums in the summer of 2012.
