Internationally acclaimed modern dancer/choreographer Margie Gillis has been creating original works for over 50 years. She is a dual citizen: Canadian and American. Margie has guested and choreographed with the Paul Taylor company. Her repertoire now includes more than 150 pieces, which she performs as solos, duets and group pieces. Her creations are wholly devoted to the study of the human soul, whether through the solo dances that make up most of her repertoire or the group pieces she has designed. All works in these performances are remounts of Margie Gillis’ original repertoire or have been created in collaboration with the artists of the Foundation’s Legacy Project. “Slipstream” will be performed at Windhover by Adam Barruch.. It is an electrifying dance piece that was recently featured in Dance Magazine in an article titled: Masters of Brevity and can be found here: https://www.dancemagazine.com/short-form-choreography/#gsc.tab=0
The Margie Gillis Dance Foundation (MGDF) was established in 1981 and its mission is to implement Margie Gillis’ artistic vision, in addition to deploying her commitment to the arts community. The MGDF supports the creation, production, and dissemination of dance.
In 2018, the MGDF launched The Legacy Project, an initiative dedicated to ensuring the continuity of Margie Gillis’ creative history. Its mandate is to protect and promote Margie’s legacy through sharing and working along the next generation of dance artists. Six dancers will perform at Windhover including Margie Gillis, alongside Annmaria Mazzini who has performed previously at Windhover.
