Q&A with National Ballet of Canada Principal Dancer and international ballet star

A rare opportunity for a one-hour in-depth chat with Evan!
 
 From Evan:

"Let's go into the WORLD of ballet both in Canada and abroad, into being a ballet dancer and the fantastical journey of physicalizing the human condition with our best tool: the human body. Thank you @katherinebarber for having this idea to discuss the experiences I've had to be able to challenge myself and my interpersonal communication constantly through a wild ride featuring such provocative roles ...most recently in my home town of Toronto at The National Ballet of Canada.
  I look forward to trying to answer some of your exciting questions ahead of our performances of Nijinsky and The Winter's Tale."

Tea and desserts will be served
