ARISE - Update

We are thrilled that Gilles Ste-Croix, from Cirque Du Soleil, has accepted our invitation to ARISE. In one of the main sessions on the first day of the arts conference, Nancy Beach will interview Ste-Croix about the creative processes that has formed their innovative experiences.



Two decades ago, Gilles was one of a small group of artists and street performers who gave birth to a new creative form. This combination of circus acts and street entertainment, featuring wild costumes, magical lighting, and original music is now known worldwide as Cirque du Soleil. Vice-President of Creation and New Project Development, Gilles served as the driving force behind LOVE, the new Cirque show based on the music of The Beatles. Our team had the privilege of experiencing this amazing show this past February.
