Biography

Vincent de Paul Warren, dancer, teacher, historian, lecturer, archivist (born in Jacksonville, Florida, on 31 August 1938; died on 25 October 2017). During his 18 years with Les Grands ballets canadiens (Les GBC), Vincent de Paul Warren became one of the most accomplished and versatile dancers in the company's history and a star in his own right. His noble looks and refined dancing made him an ideal interpreter of classical roles from the traditional story-ballet repertoire, yet he equally excelled in contemporary works, a number of which were choreographed, particularly by Fernand Nault and Brian Macdonald, to highlight Warren's talent. In 1965 Warren appeared in Norman McLaren's historic experimental dance film Pas de deux, as well as in many television broadcasts of Les GBC, notably including Adieu Robert Schumann, created for him as a farewell vehicle by Macdonald.
