We are a relevant and responsive voice in the ballet industry offering a unique
and theatrical repertoire consisting of traditional ballets and commissioned works
performed in a contemporary way.
Alberta Ballet is singular in its place in the arts of Alberta after 45 years of solid
achievement. It is our province’s standard bearer incorporating Alberta’s name into
its own, and reflecting Alberta’s deep values in its art and displaying those values
accross Canada and into the world.

message from the chair
The School of Alberta Ballet has in many respects not
only grown–it has re-invented itself–the school now not
only offers a rigorous and highly prized ballet education in
western Canada, but it also offers an academic program
that is also demanding of academic excellence.
Growth and change require a great deal of investment which
must be managed by all the partners that make up the
team of the Company and the Board is pleased to report
that we have an excellent team: the leadership of Martin
Bragg and Jean Grand Maître, the artistic and technical
excellence of our dancers, the competence and resilience of
management and staff, the hard work and dedication of our
volunteers, and the commitment of our audiences, donors,
sponsors and government. It is all these team members
pulling together and working towards the same goal that has
allowed us this phenomenal growth.
Growth comes from hard work,
investment and patience!
“Growth” is the word that most describes the past year at
Alberta Ballet. The Company has been on a remarkable
growth trajectory – no facet of the Company’s operations
did not grow or change. The Company and our artists
have grown artistically to the point that we were able to
provide our audiences with top notch performances such
as Swan Lake as demanded by Kirk Peterson. The Swan
Lake production received national accolades and set the
standard for traditional ballet within the company.
The national and international reputation of Alberta Ballet
grew because of our investments in the portrait ballets and
Swan Lake. Swan Lake received favourable national media
attention because of its excellence. We have had interest from
Europe and the United States for our product and received
considerable national media and audience attention for Love
Lies Bleeding because of our investments in the Vancouver
and Toronto markets, as well as participation in the White
Iron/CBC production, in the past year.
Company administration growth was reflected by the high
calibre of talent that the Company has been able to attract
over the past year. We welcomed Alison Geskin to the
Development and Communications portfolios and we have
seen rapid change in all matters related to our outreach to
audiences, donors, sponsors and volunteers.

The Board is pleased to report that the Company
continues its operations in stable financial health. The
Audit Committee chaired by Jeff Fortin has provided
continuing vigilant oversight. The financial stewardship
exhibited by management has ensured that despite having
investment expenses for the school and needing to write
down expenses related to previous projects, the Company
continues to operate in a very strong cash flow position.
The board is pleased to report:
Implementation of the Strategic Plan was commenced
and significant headway was made in the past year in
achievement of strategic goals – many goals were met
or exceeded.
An extended residency in Edmonton was very
successful in heightening the profile of the Company in
Edmonton.
The Academic and Residential components of the
School were implemented and tested, evaluated,
and re-evaluated leading to adjustments being made
throughout the year which continue on an on-going
basis in order to ensure the School develops a
sustainable model.
The Company undertook a massive facilities needs
assessment study as well as organizational readiness
study which led to a Fundraising Feasibility Study
(currently ongoing) in order to ascertain what Alberta
Ballet will require for facilities in the future and what
planning and fundraising will need to be done in order
to achieve the facilities requirements.
The Board wishes to acknowledge
and thank the following individuals for
their tireless volunteer contributions
as Board members and Chairs of
Committees:
Judy Cosco, Vice-Chair & Chair of
the Development Sub-Committee Edmonton
Justice Kristine Eidsvik, Past Chair
Dawn McDonald, Chair Development Committee
Jeff Fortin, Chair Audit Committee
Frank Molnar, Secretary
Eva Klein, Chair H.R. Committee
Rhondda Grant,
Chair Governance & Nominating Committee
Jim Gibson, Chair School Committee
Colin Jackson, Chair Facilities Committee
The Board would like to recognise and thank the following
retiring Board members; our deepest appreciation and
heartfelt thanks to Karen Lynch and Jim Murphy for all their
hard work and efforts on both committees of the board
and the board.
The Board wishes to thank Jean Grand Maître, Artistic
Director, and the dancers for the poetry in ether that we
saw in productions as divine as Swan Lake, as avante
garde as Dump the Physical Memory and the soon to be
classic of our repertoire Love Lies Bleeding.
The Board also thanks Martin Bragg, Executive Director,
and the staff of Alberta Ballet, who have been instrumental
in moving the company forwards along the trajectory of the
strategic plan – to in Martin’s words, “conquer the world”.
The Company looks forward to continued growth in the
coming year, and of course the ever inevitable change that
comes with growth, and we look forward to working with
you all to achieve it.
Balletluhah!

message from the artistic director
Ballet of Canada for the very first time in a mixed bill and
by presenting the Royal Winnipeg Ballet in a never before
seen aesthetic with their highly modern interpretation of
Alice in Wonderland, aptly entitled Wonderland.
While our patrons enjoyed our two visiting companies,
Alberta Ballet toured its popular production of Love Lies
Bleeding to Vancouver and Toronto. The aim of this
tour, aside from further developing our brand across the
country, was to bring this full-length ballet to new and
important markets, and to create new partnerships for
future international touring. We were extremely successful
in strengthening our reputation outside of Alberta,
attracting new investors, receiving public and critical
acclaim, and establishing our organization as a powerful
creative force.
Immediately following this tour, the CBC filmed Love
Lies Bleeding at the Banff Centre which was later aired,
prime-time right across the country, twice within a 6 month
period.
In December we returned home to perform our acclaimed
production of The Nutcracker once again in Calgary,
Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria. This production’s
success with family audiences has also enabled the
company to begin regular touring to Ottawa’s National Arts
Center.
Alberta Ballet’s 45th season was
a year of growth and spectacular
achievement.
Our 2011-2012 season celebrated Canadian dance, design
and music in all its shapes and forms. Choreographies by
Shawn Hounsell, Crystal Pite, James Kudelka and Jean
Grand-Maître were featured alongside the compositions of
Canadian composers Owen Belton, Davidson Jaconello,
John Estacio and Brian Current. As well, the stunning work
of more than 15 Canadian designers was highlighted in
each of our productions throughout the season.
We began our season by continuing to develop audiences’
taste for contemporary repertoire by presenting the National
3
2011/12 Alberta Ballet Annual Report
In the New Year we revived my production of Sergei
Prokofiev’s Cinderella, created by a design team from
across Canada. This was our third series of performances
of this ballet and once again the sales were excellent and
the response was extremely positive.
In mid-winter, Alberta Ballet experienced a historic
moment which redefined the company’s core identity: our
first presentation of a full length staging of Swan Lake. This
huge challenge was met with panache and integrity and
was expertly rehearsed by the American choreographer
Kirk Peterson. All who attended expressed their admiration
and respect for our organization’s growth and the fact
that Alberta’s ballet company and school have matured
to such a high level that staging such classics as Swan
Lake, Giselle or Sleeping Beauty is now within the realm
of the attainable for us. We have become a company
that can now tackle the great classics with excellence
while still creating exciting and internationally acclaimed
contemporary repertoire. This new artistic direction will
enable us to attract and retain better dancers, to absorb
the highly positive financial returns of such beloved ballets
into our own operational budgets, to keep these great
classics alive and to strengthen our relations with our
school immeasurably.
In March, while the women were busy rehearsing our first
ever production of Swan Lake, the men of the company
were commissioned to create a full length work all on
their own. They were given carte blanche to create the
lighting, the music, the costumes and the choreography.
For this unique occasion company principal dancer Yukichi
Hattori created his fourth ballet for us, Dump the Physical
Memory. The ballet was presented in our refitted studios
and its 12 performances were sold out in four days only.
It was a smashing success and it offered our audiences a
completely different way to appreciate dance.
Finally we ended our season with an extremely well
attended series of encore performances of Love Lies
Bleeding, a ballet which attracts new audiences, inspires
a new generation of fans to come to the ballet, financially
enables us to hire the dancers for an extra 6 weeks at the
end of a season and to develop our profile around the
world.
We also continued to reach out to thousands of new and
younger audiences with our very popular student matinees
and with our rural touring of 15 high schools in more than
13 towns across northern Alberta.
It is inspiring and invigorating to realize that Alberta Ballet
has continued to grow and to flourish even today during
these harsh economic times. With a 46 week contract
and 31 dancers, this coming season is the longest in our
history. We are now producing 7 different programs a
year in partnership with an ever growing list of prestigious
co-producers and stakeholders from across the country
and from all artistic disciplines. We are presenting dance in
large and small venues, on television and on film.
our donors are increasing in numbers and finally, that our
reputation is nurturing a whole new audience for ballet and
for dance in general right across western Canada.
We understand that we are a not for profit arts
organization; nevertheless, we also accept that we must
be a successful business to survive. Financial sustainability
must be at the forefront of all of our strategies however
protecting and preserving the intrinsic qualities that shape
our artistic identity is always at the core of our efforts and
vision as well.
The three main philosophical pillars that support all future
artistic planning are: evolving the art form, growing and
cultivating our audiences, and establishing an environment
which profoundly inspires all artists who join us.
Alberta Ballet looks forward to a new
year of disseminating dance right across
the province in our two city home
base of Edmonton and Calgary, and
collaborating with the local orchestras
and communities to further nourish their
knowledge and love of dance.
Respectfully submitted,
Jean Grand-Maitre, Artistic Director
Most of all, we are feeling empowered by the knowledge
that the audiences we are cultivating are expanding, that

Company can perform to the highest artistic level.
Alberta Ballet carries no debt and
has an accumulated surplus of
over $1,000,000.
Friends,
To say that the last year for our ballet company was
tremendous would be an understatement. Two years
after Sarah and I moved to Alberta, Alberta Ballet and the
School of Alberta Ballet have both experienced real growth
and the Company and the School have achieved new and
important milestones in their history.
As we complete the 45th anniversary of Alberta Ballet and
the 20th year of the School of Alberta Ballet both parts of
our Company have begun a new strategic plan for growth
and stability that will see us become one of the most
important and relevant ballet companies and schools in
North America.
This past season saw a number of firsts. We toured
nationally twice with both The Nutcracker and Love Lies
Bleeding. The audience response to LLB in Vancouver and
Toronto was equal to the ecstatic response the production
received when it debuted in Alberta. The new initiative
of our School to now offer both academic training and
residency opportunities will now position our school as a
world class training institution for dance. Our production
of Swan Lake, the first in our history, proves that our
5
2011/12 Alberta Ballet Annual Report
A number of events took took place last year which led
to the Company making a financial investment in our
future. The investment of the Company to launch the
academic and residency program at the School was a
critical decision which the Company made to ensure that
the School could be competitive on a national basis. Our
tour of Love Lies Bleeding was important in order for us to
begin to develop the national and international relationships
which are a critical aspect in our strategy to move the
Company onto another level of Ballet Companies in North
America. While our run of the production in Vancouver was
underwritten by our presenting sponsor, the engagement
at the prestigious Sony Centre in Toronto was entered into
only after a signed presenting agreement with a consortium
of North American producers had been undertaken. After
the performances had been put on sale, this consortium
suffered some setups and terminated their contract with
Alberta Ballet. The Company undertook a risk analysis
and determined that the Toronto run was an important
strategic step and that it should move forward with the
Toronto engagement. These two investments in the future
of the Company resulted in a deficit position this year. The
Company has approved a strong financial budget for the
upcoming fiscal year and plans to once again end the
2012/2013 season with a positive financial result.
The 2011/2012 season was highlighted by the support
we achieved from our amazing group of corporate and
individual supporters. Alberta Ballet continued to expand
our list of corporate supporters, as well as receiving the
significant financial support of many individuals. All of us
at Alberta Ballet are grateful for the generous and long
time support of the many people who are committed to
the ballet, and I would like to personally thank several
individuals who chose to continue our expansion of
personal underwriting. Special thanks to Dawn MacDonald
and Dr. Grant Bartlett who supported Swan Lake, Judy
and John Cosco who supported the Edmonton residency
of Swan Lake, Heather and Murray Edwards who
underwrote our Artist Fund Program, Sharon Watkins who
has sponsored our Artistic Director for more than 10 years
and Marco Simonelli who completely renovated the dancer
lounge and dressing rooms for our Artists. Alberta Ballet is
proud of our supporters and we will need to continue to
count on them as we move forward with our ambitious
plans for the future.
Alberta Ballet continues to be supported by the Alberta
Foundation for the Arts, the Canada Council for the
Arts, the Edmonton Arts Council and Calgary Arts
Development. As the only arts organization in Alberta
who call both Edmonton and Calgary home, we are
proud to be ambassadors for both of our cities and our
province on the world stage. The Company has plans
to ensure that our ballet Company will have a provincial
presence over the next year thanks to our Emerging
Artists Program.
I would like to thank our large group of volunteers this
year, who helped on everything from our operations
in Edmonton and Calgary, to our special events,
especially the 2012 House and Garden tours in both
cities. It has been an honour and a privilege to work
with our most senior volunteers, our Board of Directors,
led by our Chairman Gordon Sombrowski and our Vice
Chair, Judy Cosco. Our Board is committed to the
success of our Company and they are truly partners
with the artists and the staff.
I would like to thank and acknowledge my business
and creative partner Jean Grand-Maître, who continues
to create the most extraordinary art on our stages and
the artists of Alberta Ballet who are at the core of the
art we create. Our dancers continue to amaze me with
their commitment, passion and athleticism, day in and
day out. They are inspirational.
Finally, I would like to thank and acknowledge our first
class staff led by Murray Kilgour and Chris George at
the School, Jennifer Faulkner in Edmonton, and Mitch
Lavalee, Harry Paterson, Alison Geskin in Calgary.

message from the school of alberta ballet
highlights of the year
to our students’ abilities to balance the intensity of ballet
training with the rigours of academic excellence. Although
we started the year with only 15 students in junior high, 10
students in residence and 95 students in the Professional
Division, we have now grown to 60 students from grades 6
to 12, 35 students in residence and over 120 students in the
Professional Division for the 2012-13 season.
Examinations were again remarkable, examiners from
England saying they never see the standard set by Shirley
Agate-Proust anywhere else. Then there was the remarkable
highlight of our Head of Junior School, Ashley McNeil,
gaining the Cecchetti Diploma! Coached by Nancy Kilgour
this result is one of those rare happening, reaching the
pinnacle of training in the Cecchetti method.

The past year has marked a pivotal point in the School
of Alberta Ballet’s evolution. Artistically, we started the
year performing with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra
and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra through Music
In Motion and then continued the year dramatically with
eight Professional Graduate students performing in Kirk
Peterson’s production of Swan Lake dancing alongside the
professionals of Alberta Ballet. We ended with one of those
dancers, Laura Vande Zande, joining the Company as an
apprentice for the upcoming year. In between those two
highlights the School continued to dramatically progress.
We have had more performances for the School than ever
before, and all of them in theatres, no longer just relying on
in house studio space.
We finished the year with probably the best end of year
performance with a new format, including a classwork
demonstration. Actually, this wasn’t the end yet, we still had
four summer courses over July and August with our Senior
Summer School extended from three weeks to four weeks.
Included was a very successful first Teachers Training
Course led by Nancy Kilgour. And then to really finish we
received the news that Nancy Kilgour was appointed to the
“Order of Canada.” An exciting and highly successful year
for sure!
Having auditioned over 300 students from around the world
this year, parents can now rest comfortably knowing that
their children’s academic and residence needs can now
be looked after. After 20 years of partnering with other
academic schools and home-stay programs, we were
finally able to launch our own junior high school, and in
partnership with Mount Royal University, our own residence
as well. Operating both academics and residence has
meant so much not only to our growth and placement
within the international ballet world, but more importantly,

Financial Highlights, Revenues:
Performance Income grew 22% over 2011, aided by the Company’s tours of Love Lies Bleeding to Vancouver
and Toronto and an increase in sales of The Nutcracker over 2011. Fundraising Events in 2012 did not match the
success acheived in 2011 due to there being no gala events in either Edmonton or Calgary. Other Income increased
significantly due to a one time gain on a sales tax reassessment and the commencement of residential rent from
students of the School of Alberta Ballet.

Financial Highlights, Expenses:
Performance and Creation Expenses grew 36% over 2011, partially due to the Company’s tours of Love Lies
Bleeding to Vancouver and Toronto. Personnel costs increased predominantly due to the addition of teaching staff
for the academic division of the School of Alberta Ballet and consultants costs for facilities planning at the School
and proposed new facility. Facilities costs increased 32% over 2011 predominantly due to residence rental paid on
behalf of students at the School, additional space for academic facilities at the School and the roof replacement at
the Nat Christie Centre.

foundation
Established in 1994, the Alberta Foundation holds
a mission to raise funds through an endowment to
contribute to the long-term success of the company.
Former Alberta Ballet Board of Directors launched
the entity which saw early success from a variety of
supporters. Sadly, the founding Chairman, Garry C.
Johnson, QC passed away but his family and friends
generously contributed over $400,000 in his memory.
The Foundation is refocusing its efforts to attract
donors. It has introduced a planned giving program
and board members are currently introducing the
benefits of support to a number of individuals.
The Foundation is a separate legal entity with its own
Board of Directors but, like members of the company,
hold a passion for Alberta Ballet.
