About the director: Olivier Wevers
From ballet training in his native Belgium, Olivier learned the beauty, passion, and discipline of the art. On coming to North America at age 19, he discovered the exhilaration of many new dance forms. As a principal dancer, first with Royal Winnipeg Ballet and later, for most of his dancing career, with Pacific Northwest Ballet, he acquired his strong conviction that dancers are the heart and soul of a company. As such, they, and artists in general, must live at the very center of the process, their dignity, psychological and creative growth, and safety deemed just as essential as their technical accomplishments.
During his years of performing in classical and contemporary works by choreographers from around the world, Olivier also discovered the thrill of making dances and how imaginative storytelling and movement exploration connect to caring about individuality and physicality. Creating dances fed his perennial curiosity. It became “my way to express myself and, during the process, to be able to learn more about the human condition, start dialogues, touch people and share ideas, reflecting on our times and our humanity.”
A little bit about the Icicle Creek Visiting Artist Series:
Join us in inspiring the next generation of creators through the Icicle Creek Visiting Artist Series. This incredible series brings talented performing artists from across the country and beyond to not only showcase their work but also share their creative processes with students. These artists visit schools, engaging with and performing for students. Their visit culminates in a captivating concert at Icicle Creek’s Snowy Owl Theater for the whole community to enjoy! Attending these concerts directly supports the work that we do here at ICCA to bring world-class educational opportunities to the students of our valley. We thank you for being a part of this!
