As part of Canada’s 85th Anniversary celebrations, I was inducted into their auspicious Honour Roll. It was a weekend filled with wonderful alumni events, the highlight of which was honouring André Lewis’s outstanding Artistic Directorship of the RWB over the past 30 years. He is stepping down from this position but will no doubt continue to be celebrated far and wide for his contribution to dance. Please consider making a donation in his name to the DTRC – Dancer Transition Resource Centre, a national organization celebrating its 40th anniversary of supporting professional dancers in all phases of their career. André has been named one of this season’s “Champions of Dance” and I am proud to support my friend and colleague in this fundraising initiative.

THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU to ALL of our AIM 4 ALL participants, family and friends who joined us for our pilot program.
March 31st- April 4th was a very full week and we all came away exhausted and exhilarated by what we accomplished.
The Showcase session highlighted a combination of songs, dances, scenes and skills which were explored throughout the program. None of this would have been possible without the support of your families, your helpers and friends.
We look forward to launching our season long training and performance program in the fall. Auditions will be taking place in late May and early June so stay tuned.
To quote our theme songs, beautifully composed by Seanne Buenafe and myself….
We sing, we dance, we dream out loud
And no one’s lost among the crowd
Every person, every name, on the stage we shine the same,
We’re one big family rising tall,
We AIM 4 ALL!!
A BIG SHOUTOUT to my Co-founders: Lois Brothers and Laura Kolisnyk

On March 22nd, I had the great honour of joining nine other RWB alumni in a special performance for their Masquerade Ball. As a special celebration of the company’s 85th anniversary, we performed two dances including ‘Tall Couples’ from Romeo and Juliet and an original tango choreographed by current RWB company member- Maggie Weatherdon. Thanks to fellow alums: Yayoi Ban, Carrie Broda, Tristan Dobrowney, Grace Hanley, Tracy Koga, Brigitte Lavitt (Desrochers), Vanessa Léonard (Lawson), CindyMarie Mack (Small), and Jaime Vargas for making it such a memorable and heartwarming experience. Looking forward to our next “gig” together!

Brenda Gorlick, Lois Brothers and Laura Kolisnyk are the “Triple Threats” in Triple Threat Productions. Our lifelong friendship and professional affiliations have banded us together to create AIM 4 ALL – All Inclusive Musical training and production company.
AIM 4 ALL is offering a pilot program in early April promoting all-inclusive musical theatre training for teens and young adults. Our initiative aims to address the lack of inclusive performing arts programs in our community, creating a safe and nurturing space where creativity and diversity can flourish. We are proud to be working in conjunction with the Manitoba Down Syndrome Society to bring our collective vision to life.
We have collectively been working with members of the disabled, neuro-diverse and neurotypical communities for over six decades. The AIM 4 ALL pilot program, sponsored in part by Manitoba Arts Council, is launching as a spring break musical theatre camp. Our long term goal is to develop year round training which culminates in fully produced musicals – a first of its kind in Manitoba. Our hope is that AIM 4 ALL will inspire others to follow suit with similar programming.
