The company based in Mon Treal has a definite Canadian identity which is being strengthened by an increasing input of Canadian music de signers and dancers the com Pany s artistic director Brian Macdonald said in an inter View monday. Or. Macdonald spent several years As resident choreographer of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and Many of his works Remai in the Winnipeg group s Reper Loire. Montreal is a City that a great artistic activity and Bot i e and Ludmilla Chiniaeff founder and director of the company believe in using the ocal resources available t hem or. Macdonald said. For example next year the company will perform two Complete programs comprising six ballets using the music of Canadian composers. Tan to Delam one of the two works to be danced for the company s six performances in Winnipeg this week is set to the music of Quebec Singer and composer Gilles Vigneault. I High Quality to join the com Spany or. Macdonald said. It takes a great input in terms of time Money am competent instructors to pro Luce dancers of High Stan Dards perhaps More than mos people outside the arts realize he added. A o u have to get them Young and train them in another indication of the in creasing interest in the arts is the greater enrolment in classes especially for boys at the school of Les grands bal lets canadians. The school is now beginning to turn out dancers who Are of sufficiently after three years the railroads Are raising some of their freight rates. Now it costs 6.20 to ship a Pound of meat from Edmonton to Halifax. School that has excellent teach ers. You re not going to get Good dancers any other Way. They have to come out of the b i e n c e around the com Pany they can t stay in Isola for this reason big Compa Nies tend to grow larger As they draw aspiring Young dancers from smaller communities to take advantage of a larger gathering of talented people. This also lends to establish a degree of Competition among the dancers which is a healthy phenomenon or Macdonald said. If you have the same kid behind you in class every Day who s better than you Are it spurs you to greater or. Macdonald describes Les grands ballets canadians As an innovative company with a repertoire which ranges from the Standard classics such As Giselle to the Rock Ballet Tommy. The dance has Many face but i think the classics a always there As a basis o strength the most Well known an Well loved classics Swa Ake Coppelia Giselle an Nutcracker will probably still be danced a Hundri years from now he added. They re Here to stay am vill exist always. But we r gradually getting a body c works that Are essentially 20tl Century classics. Ballets a George Balanchine and Agnee Mille for example can fair y be said to be 20th centum lassies.1 although the traditional Das Seal works have in som ases existed for close to a undred years some Moderi oreo Raphers Are taking the i b e r t y of re choreographing Lem. Or. M a. C d o n a 1 d has re camped Romeo and Juliet Tich the company will also erf or m Here. I Felt we have been extraordinarily influenced by the pro Odiev music which is a big ush romantic score be cause of the music and the russian Outlook we have moved very far away from the Story and from the in resetting this work he Felt it was important to return to the Renaissance Soiu ids and to the poetry of the original shakespearean work which is probably some of the most Well known poetry Ever writ ten lie said. Ever since i did the shill ing people of Leonard Cohen a work set to the poetry of Leonard Cohen and which is in the repertoire of the Royal Winnipeg i be been very intrigued with poetry As a dance so far the response to the new Romeo and Juliet has been More than enthusiastic or. Macdonald said. This work and Tarn to Delam will be performed by Les grands ballets canadians at . Wednesday to sat urday and at 2 . And . Sunday in the Centennial concert Hall. After the Winnipeg perform ances the company will travel Lobrandon Saskatoon Edmon ton and Calgary. We know about the Cost of eggs and meat and sugar. A cup of Coffee. Or a Glass of Beer. We know because we have to spend More for practically everything in buys these Days. And we be not just talking about paper clips. The same freight car we bought in 1971 for s17000 now costs s24.000. Over the next four years Well need thousands More of these cars to meet de Mand locomotives that were s340.000 apiece Are up to now. And we re going to need a lot More of them too the Cost of materials has gone up 81v diesel fuel and wages 70% since the Start of 1972. Yet the recent increase in our general rates which despite their name apply to less than a Quarter of our total freight business was minor by comparison. Obviously we re not going to get Rich with costs continuing to Rise there will have to be further increases to keep Pace. It is in Canada s Best interest to have an efficiently run and adequately compensated rail transportation system with rates based on Normal competitive business practices but even with moderately higher freight rates the railroads Are still one of Canada s Best bargains. Freight rates represent a very Small part of the Pur Chase Price of a product. Here Are a few examples of current rates 1 in. Sugar Saint John to Winnipeg 2.40 1 tin canned goods Chatham ont. To Regina 2.20 1 in. Pkg. Cereal Peterborough to Edmonton 1 in. Butter Melville sask. To 3.50 1 in. Fruit Kamloops to Winnipeg 3.60 there is an unprecedented demand for in s freight services a growth of More than 40% Over the next five years is projected. To maintain our existing Plant and provide for this future growth we re going to need additional revenues. These will buy modern equipment improve the capacity of our main track and Yards and help our customers in Many other ways. We can show them for instance How to reduce inventories so expensive at today s interest rates. Consolidate and systematize deliveries. Control total distribution costs. Those Are the kind of economies that Are going to make real sense and dollars in the Long run. For you and for every Canadian.
