Pre-Performance Interview

A performance preview between Northrop Director, Ben Johnson and Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s Scenic Designer, Andrew Beck and Costume Designers, Anne Armit and Shannon Lovelace.

Listen to Royal Winnipeg Ballet's integral designers as they discuss the process of creating the costumes and the set to Jorden Morris's original production of Moulin Rouge - The Ballet, just moments before the world premier

Andrew Beck has worked as scenic artist and set designer for fifteen years primarily working for Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Manitoba Theatre Centre and Rainbow Stage. Other credits include the National Aboriginal Achievement Awards and the TV series Falcon Beach.

Anne Armit owned her own business for ten years creating costumes for film, television and theatre, including the contract for Cats. She joined Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet in 1989 as Director of Wardrobe and this position has given her the opportunity to travel and design productions such as L.I.F.E., La Bayadère, Raymonda, Creaturehood and more.

In 1993 Shannon Lovelace began her association with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, working as milliner, decorator, dyer and designer. Moulin Rouge - The Ballet is the third full-length ballet she has designed for the RWB. She has also worked in the film industry as sketch artist, illustrator and costumer, but her real love remains in the world of dance.
