Now in its 28th year, Vohon is praised for its colourful diversity of talent, its amazing ability to transcend the traditional into new cultural landscapes, and its power to ignite the stage from the moment the curtain opens to the final Hopak! The ensemble from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, is under the artistic direction of Trish Kushniruk and Garrett Nestorowich; together they have over 70 years of dance and instructional experience. Their unique styles combine to provide the dancers with challenging and innovative choreography, including both regional repertoire and character storyline pieces. Under this partnership, the group of over 40 dancers presents a skillful blend of Ukrainian folk dance, ballet, and contemporary dance. The result is a captivating display of experimental Ukrainian Dance that is blazing a remarkable path for the ensemble around the world. Ken Kachmar, co-founder of Vohon and artistic director, has stepped into a new role as Business and Performance Director for the ensemble. Ken continues to seek exciting performance opportunities for Vohon, providing leadership for the ensemble through expertise earned by years dedicated to the Ukrainian dance community. Since its inception, Vohon has had the privilege of performing at premier Ukrainian Festivals and other performances across Western Canada, the United States, Australia, Germany, Scotland, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, China, Japan, and most recently Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina in the summer of 2015. Vohon is truly a strong ambassador for Edmonton’s Ukrainian community, as well as for their province and country.
