Red Deer man receives Queen’s Golden Jubilee Scholarship Award
A Red Deer man was one of two young Albertans honoured with a 2019 Queen’s Golden Jubilee Award for Performing and Visual Arts on Tuesday.
Jesse Pawel Drwiega of Red Deer grew up dancing in central Alberta, starting with competitive tap dance at the age of three.
After training in jazz, ballet, contemporary, modern, and hip hop styles, Drwiega won a scholarship to study at The Edge Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles.
Following that, he graduated from the Canadian College of Performing Arts in 2016 with an Enriched Diploma in Theatre Performance and a Certificate in Mentorship for Choreography.
