We are just 5 weeks away from the biggest event of the year for ESA on May 28th – the spectacular gala at the stunning and historic Winter Garden theatre in downtown Toronto! “Shine: An Evening Celebrating ESA” will combine the talents of many of our current students with those of some of our most illustrious alumni to raise funds for our new Capital Improvements Fund.

This week we profile Ben Kamino, ESA Dance Grad of 2004, and a son of ESA dance teacher and choreographer Gabby Kamino.
Benjamin Kamino is an artist living and working between Montreal and Toronto. His work has been shown in Austria, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the United States. Through the embodiment of cultural, critical, and philosophical theory, his work is a continuous research into performance as a site where ethical positions can be put into question.
Aside from making choreography, Kamino maintains his practice as a dancer by engaging in contracts with Independent choreographers as well as Dance companies most notably, Peggy Baker Dance Projects, Ame Henderson, Michael Trent, Sasha Kleinplatz and Virgil Baruchal.
Kamino holds a BFA in Dance for the Tisch school for the Arts (NYU), and is currently a curator at Dancemakers Centre for Creation (Toronto).
Join us on May 28th to see Ben and the other wonderful artists shine for ESA!
