Snow White and the Mirror Educational Matinee (School Outing)

As part of its cultural outreach mission, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens is offering an educational matinee centered around the performance Snow White and the Mirror, an original creation by Étienne Béchard inspired by the famous tale by the Brothers Grimm.

This matinee allows young audiences to attend a selection of excerpts from the ballet, performed by the company’s artists. The presentation is interspersed with educational commentary aimed at enriching students’ artistic experience and helping them understand the work, its characters, choreographic aesthetic, and musical universe.

A comprehensive educational guide is provided in advance of the activity. It includes:

• A history of the ballet and its contemporary adaptation;
• Information about the artists and choreographer;
• An introduction to the main characters;
• Insights into dance techniques;
• Themes for extended classroom discussion.

This event offers a unique opportunity to introduce young people to the world of ballet and give them direct exposure to a living and accessible work, in a structured and engaging setting.
