Edgar Tumak

Until he retired from regular performance in 2005, Edgar was a leading North American expert in Baroque dance, gesture and staging, working in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, as well as California and New Zealand. He also directed the staging and dance of several student operas at Wilfrid Laurier University.  He continues to conduct workshops such as at Queen's University, high school drama classes, and the Royal Canadian College of Organists 2016 gathering. His initial training was in Ukrainian folk dance in Ottawa (soon co-directing the ensemble) and subsequently ballet.
