Launch of Rusalka: The Legend and Legacy.
When we recount our lives and all that we have done, we do so with stories shared with family and friends. Stories can bring a smile to our face, laughter to our lips and tears to our eyes. These stories are part of each of us, part of our lives and what we leave behind.This book is a tribute to Rusalka’s vibrant legacy, but also the countless stories created and then passed down over generations by its alumni.
The Rusalka Alumni Executive undertook this book project to commemorate and celebrate the 50th anniversary of Rusalka in 2012. For six years, volunteers organized Rusalka’s archives, searched for photographs and gathered anecdotes about the ensemble’s most memorable moments featured in Rusalka: The Legend and The Legacy. This 168 page commemorative book is a beautiful celebration of one of Canada’s most renowned Ukrainian dance ensembles.
