Critiques

Nijinsky
“Ben Rudisin was a haughty, vaguely menacing Diaghilev and showcased impressive strength touched with sensuality.”
–  ArtsFile.ca

Casse-noisette
“Uncle Nikolai (principal dancer Ben Rudisin)… has the showiest dancing in Kudelka’s version. He is literally a spinning, jumping top that never stops, and Rudisin pulled off the role in suitably flashy manner — all crisp, tight and sharp.”
–  Ludwig Van Toronto

“Able to partner any company’s tallest women, Rudisin rocketed through the ranks at National Ballet, from apprentice to principal in less than eight years. All his strengths, from partnering to collaborating, will be on display in the season-opening program.”
–  The Globe and Mail
