volcanohunter Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 To mark International Dance Day, Canada Post has issued two new postage stamps, one featuring Karen Kain, former National Ballet of Canada principal dancer and its current artistic director, and the other with the late Fernand Nault, a former ABT dancer, choreographer and co-artistic director of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/shop/collectors/stamps-and-collectibles-by-year/2021/legends-of-canadian-ballet.jsf?execution=e1s1 The National Ballet of Canada was only too happy to have Kain talk about the stamps. (Well, mostly about herself.) Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 The photo of Kain is by Andrew Oxenham, who had also been a dancer with the National Ballet of Canada. The author of the Nault photograph isn't listed, unfortunately. Link to comment
