Nesta (charity)
Nesta (formerly NESTA, National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) is an independent charity that works to increase the innovation capacity of the UK.
The organisation acts through a combination of practical programmes, investment, policy and research, and the formation of partnerships to promote innovation across a broad range of sectors.
Nesta was originally funded by a £250 million endowment from the UK National Lottery. The endowment is now kept in trust, and Nesta uses the interest from the trust to meet its charitable objects and to fund and support its projects.
The charity is registered in England and Wales with charity no. 1144091 and in Scotland with no. SC042833
History
Old NESTA was set up in 1998 by an independent endowment in the United Kingdom established by an Act of Parliament.
On 14 October 2010 the Government announced that it would transfer old NESTA's status from an executive non-departmental public body to a new charitable body.
On April 1, 2012 the old NESTA transitioned from being an executive to a charitable body, changing its name to Nesta, and dropping the long title.

Welcome! We are so excited and honoured to receive the Dance Ontario Lifetime Achievement Award and are humbled to be included in the list of distinguished artists whose impact is felt for generations to come. This evening marks what we somehow can't help but feel - another new beginning. Our work comes to life primarily because of all the incredible artists and collaborators that we’ve worked and created with, over the past four decades. Our careers have also been propelled through many forces, with thousands of fine human beings including past and present dancers, students, mentors, mentees, colleagues, board and staff; local, national and international presenters and partners; commissioners; funders, our donors and you - our colleagues, friends, family and audiences! Tonight, we chose to reimagine! We will be featuring some of the dance artists who have graced our stage and film works, along with other wonderful artists who have been influential to our careers, and introducing up and coming artists whom we work with. Karen has been Allen’s muse from the very beginning. Thousands of sunrises, snowfalls and dark nights of unwavering love have mobilized us through an inspiring and rigorous creative four decades of art making, family-growing and spearheading Kaeja d'Dance. One thing for sure is that we catapult one another in magical and magnificent ways, never shying away from challenging times. Each on our own journey together at the same time, defined by our imaginations, we look forward to many more years of research and creation! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your time with us tonight. Have a wonderful evening, Karen and Allen

About Angela Hewitt:
Hewitt was born in Ottawa, Ontario, daughter of the Yorkshire-born Godfrey Hewitt (thus she also has British nationality) who was choirmaster at Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa. She began piano studies at the age of three with her mother. She earned a scholarship at the age of five. She studied violin with Walter Prystawski, recorder with Wolfgang Grunsky, and ballet with Nesta Toumine in Ottawa. Her first full-length recital was at the age of nine, in The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, where she studied from 1964 to 1973 with Earle Moss and Myrtle Guerrero. She then went on to be the student of French pianist Jean-Paul Sevilla at the University of Ottawa.
Hewitt has performed around the world in recital and as soloist with orchestra. She is best known for her cycle of Bach recordings which she began in 1994 and finished in 2005 —covering all of the major keyboard works of J. S. Bach. Her recording of Bach's The Art of Fugue was released on October 17, 2014. Her discography also includes works by Louis Couperin, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Olivier Messiaen, Emmanuel Chabrier, Maurice Ravel, Robert Schumann, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, Claude Debussy and Gabriel Fauré. She has recorded two discs of Mozart concertos with the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova, and a third with Ottawa's National Arts Centre Orchestra, conducted by Hannu Lintu. With the DSO Berlin and Lintu, she also recorded the Schumann Piano Concerto.
Her entire 2007–08 season was devoted to complete performances of Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier in major cities all over the world. Her Hyperion DVD on Bach performance on the piano was released to coincide with the tour.
In July 2005, Hewitt launched the Trasimeno Music Festival in Umbria near Perugia, of which she is artistic director.
Hewitt switched to Fazioli pianos in 2002. Her unique four-pedal F278 Fazioli was dropped by instrument movers in January 2020 and considered unsalvageable by Paolo Fazioli, the company's founder. She chose a new Fazioli (out of five made available for her from which to choose) in January 2021.

Jean Stoneham Orr was born in Edinburgh and came to Canada when she was still an infant. Her family settled in Saskatoon, which is where she started Highland dance. Her family moved to Vancouver when she was 9 years old and she began studying ballet. They moved to Ottawa during the Second World War and she continued her studies with Yolande Leduc and then Nesta Toumine. Jean was Canada’s first Giselle performing the role for the Ottawa Ballet Company in 1948 (directed by Leduc and Toumine). She danced with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet from 1951-1954. She married in 1954, which led to a hiatus with dance until she and her husband moved to Vancouver in 1971. Here, Jean became heavily involved in the Vancouver Ballet Society (VBS) as a volunteer. In the 1980s, she was the administrator for the VBS and played a substantial role in co-founding Ballet BC, for which she was also founding president of the board. Jean is still active as a volunteer in Vancouver’s ballet scene. She is a beloved member of the Vancouver dance community for her support of artists and her half-century of volunteerism.

Welcome! We are so excited and honoured to receive the Dance Ontario Lifetime Achievement Award and are humbled to be included in the list of distinguished artists whose impact is felt for generations to come. This evening marks what we somehow can't help but feel - another new beginning. Our work comes to life primarily because of all the incredible artists and collaborators that we’ve worked and created with, over the past four decades. Our careers have also been propelled through many forces, with thousands of fine human beings including past and present dancers, students, mentors, mentees, colleagues, board and staff; local, national and international presenters and partners; commissioners; funders, our donors and you - our colleagues, friends, family and audiences! Tonight, we chose to reimagine! We will be featuring some of the dance artists who have graced our stage and film works, along with other wonderful artists who have been influential to our careers, and introducing up and coming artists whom we work with. Karen has been Allen’s muse from the very beginning. Thousands of sunrises, snowfalls and dark nights of unwavering love have mobilized us through an inspiring and rigorous creative four decades of art making, family-growing and spearheading Kaeja d'Dance. One thing for sure is that we catapult one another in magical and magnificent ways, never shying away from challenging times. Each on our own journey together at the same time, defined by our imaginations, we look forward to many more years of research and creation! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your time with us tonight. Have a wonderful evening, Karen and Allen

About Angela Hewitt:
Hewitt was born in Ottawa, Ontario, daughter of the Yorkshire-born Godfrey Hewitt (thus she also has British nationality) who was choirmaster at Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa. She began piano studies at the age of three with her mother. She earned a scholarship at the age of five. She studied violin with Walter Prystawski, recorder with Wolfgang Grunsky, and ballet with Nesta Toumine in Ottawa. Her first full-length recital was at the age of nine, in The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, where she studied from 1964 to 1973 with Earle Moss and Myrtle Guerrero. She then went on to be the student of French pianist Jean-Paul Sevilla at the University of Ottawa.
Hewitt has performed around the world in recital and as soloist with orchestra. She is best known for her cycle of Bach recordings which she began in 1994 and finished in 2005 —covering all of the major keyboard works of J. S. Bach. Her recording of Bach's The Art of Fugue was released on October 17, 2014. Her discography also includes works by Louis Couperin, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Olivier Messiaen, Emmanuel Chabrier, Maurice Ravel, Robert Schumann, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, Claude Debussy and Gabriel Fauré. She has recorded two discs of Mozart concertos with the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova, and a third with Ottawa's National Arts Centre Orchestra, conducted by Hannu Lintu. With the DSO Berlin and Lintu, she also recorded the Schumann Piano Concerto.
Her entire 2007–08 season was devoted to complete performances of Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier in major cities all over the world. Her Hyperion DVD on Bach performance on the piano was released to coincide with the tour.
In July 2005, Hewitt launched the Trasimeno Music Festival in Umbria near Perugia, of which she is artistic director.
Hewitt switched to Fazioli pianos in 2002. Her unique four-pedal F278 Fazioli was dropped by instrument movers in January 2020 and considered unsalvageable by Paolo Fazioli, the company's founder. She chose a new Fazioli (out of five made available for her from which to choose) in January 2021.

This is my first video ever made.. so just that you know it is not an excellent video, but an OK video.. However, this is done with my interpretation of Erik Satie No. 1 Orechestra, where I tried to connect different images and somehow create a story.
Hope you will understand my interpretation, and thanks for the watching.
Also, I would be greatful for helpful comments, that i will learn from ^__^
PS. in the end, the sentence is grammatically wrong- it should be "This is how the Journy of a little Swan continue"

She studied ballet in Ottawa, New York, with Nikolai Legat, Serafina Astafieva and Margaret Craske in London, in Paris and with Julia Sedova in Nice. Williams performed as Nesta Markova with the Ballets Russes de Paris and Léonide Massine's Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. In 1941, she married Sviatoslov Toumine. The couple settled in New York but moved to Ottawa after the birth of their sons, Peter and Lorne. With Yolande Leduc, Toumine founded the Ottawa Ballet Company in 1947. She taught ballet in her school in Ottawa, in Scranton, Pennsylvania and in Montreal. Toumine died in Ottawa.
