Launch Spring Lecture Series 2020: Back By Popular Demand
Ballet Laughs: The surprising comic side of a classical art
with Katherine Barber
Who better to help us celebrate and launch our spring lecture series than our very first speaker!
Romance, escapism, beauty, athleticism – those are ballet’s acknowledged fortes. But comedy? Join us as Katherine shares some hilarious moments in ballet.
Known to many as “Canada’s Word Lady” for her knack for making our language lively and entertaining, Katherine is also an ardent ballet fan who takes ballet lovers on ballet-themed holidays around the world, provides very popular ballet appreciation courses, and organizes group ballet outings in Toronto.
