Lewis announced on Thursday he will be stepping down from his roles as artistic director and chief executive officer in 2025 — marking an end to a career that has spanned 50 years with the organization.
Lewis moved into the role of associate artistic director in 1989 after he retired from dancing. Seven years later he took on the position of artistic director and in 2018 he took on a dual role after he was appointed chief executive officer. "For me to do it this way it gives me two years. All of the things that we do regularly I can say, 'okay this is my last time doing this, and I can move forward,'" he said.
This brings Lewis back to one of his proudest moments as artistic director — the commission of "Going Home Star - Truth and Reconciliation" in 2014. The First Nations-inspired ballet examined the effects of the residential school system.
