About the episode

In this second of four podcasts with Karen Kain, the NAC's Cathy Levy and Gerald Morris talk to former prima ballerina Kain about her rebellious behavior at the National Ballet School, her first performances and early years with The National Ballet of Canada, and the role of talent, hard work, preparation, opportunity, and sheer luck in her career. Kain also discusses motivation and confidence (and the consequences of the lack of it) and the value of a male dance partner.
