“Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world. Based on current incidence rates, the MS Society of Canada estimates that approximately 1000 new cases of MS are diagnosed in Canada each year, which means three more Canadians are diagnosed with MS every day. Chances are you have a relative, friend, coworker, acquaintance or classmate with the condition.
“My experience with multiple sclerosis began early: I was a teenager when my mom was diagnosed. At first, I don’t think I really understood what was going on. Her MS was mild for the most part. That has changed recently as my mother approaches retirement. It scares me that my mom might not be able to walk, and even more, not enjoy her retirement.” - Rhonda Head, Saskatchewan Blue Cross MS Walker

Ballet Jörgen Canada
- Cinderella
A “Stars For Saskatchewan”
performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council,
Tuesday March 10, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre,
Yorkton Regional High School.
This Ballet by Bengt Jorgen is an innovative take on the classic fairy tale. Jorgen’s choreography balances the fairy tale elements of the story with a contemporary treatment of Cinderella and her family relationships. Returning to the original Russian tradition of having women perform the roles of stepsisters, Jorgen builds a more realistic and human look at Cinderella and her circumstances and then uses these scenes to both counterpoint and highlight the magical aspects of the story. Glenn Davidson’s set design creates a fantastical environment based on the idea of the natural world reclaiming man-made structures. Inspiration for the set pieces is drawn from ice storms and old growth forests. Costume designs by Robert Doyle playfully echo each character’s personality. Ballet Jorgen Canada’s Cinderella is a classical ballet with modern dramatic sensibilities.
