On April 10th the Richmond Ballet will perform "Ancient Airs" by Stoner Winslett'80 and "Voyages" by Mauricio Wainrot on Saturday, April 10th, a 2pm matinee (bring the children!).

Stoner Winslett'80, Smith College Medal recipient, is the founding Artistic Director of the Richmond Ballet professional company. Her unique, strong partnership with the community has built a fine civic organization into an important national dance force through working toward a clear and shared vision. In the past 29 years, under Ms. Winslett’s direction, Richmond Ballet has established the first major company of professional dancers in the Commonwealth, commissioned 50 new works from choreographers from around the world, introduced the much-acclaimed Minds In Motion program into area schools, and renovated and occupied its landmark downtown building on Canal Street. She led the company through its highly successful New York debut at the Joyce Theater in 2005, followed by an equally successful and critically acclaimed collaborative effort in New York’s Joyce Theater in 2007, entitled John Butler: An American Master, which included Manhattan based Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Ballet NY, and world renowned guest artist Desmond Richardson.

Ms. Winslett’s work has been recognized both regionally and nationally with numerous appointments and honors. She served as a Cadmus Leader-in-Residence at the Jepson School at the University of Richmond, was named a YWCA Woman of the Year and was chosen by Style Magazine as one of the 100 most influential Richmonders of the 20th century. Ms. Winslett has served on arts panels for several state arts councils and the National Endowment for the Arts where she has also been a site visitor. She was a vice-chair of DanceUSA and is currently serving as president of the John Butler Foundation. In February of 2005, she received The Smith College Medal, the highest honor the college confers on an alumna. She lives in Richmond with her family.
