By Michael Crabb
Arnold Spohr is outspoken, ambitious, demanding, uncompromising and even combative when it comes to dealing with those whose dedication to the arts falls short of his own. He’s also one of the most honoured, respected and loved figures in the history of Canadian dance. Artistic Director of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet for 30 years, Spohr put the RWB firmly on the national and international map. He engaged the best choreographers and toured the RWB extensively. A legend in his own time, Arnold Spohr’s contribution to the artistic life of Canada is ultimately immeasurable.
