Vancouver Sun: Orlando is making her choreographic debut with Ballet British Columbia, her home company. “She started choreographing in 1997 at the age of 25, crafting miniature self portraits, and has functioned as a dancer-choreographer since. A turning point came last year when she won the Banff Centre’s Clifford E. Lee Prize and made Winter Journey, an ensemble work for 13 dancers. ‘The Banff experience gave me the courage to work with large groups,’ Orlando says. ‘It helped me figure out dynamics and patterns.’”
