SYNOPSIS: Margie
Gillis is one of the great Canadian talents of our time. An internationally

has choreographed and performed over fifty solo dance works, earning rave
reviews throughout the world.
“I dance from
the inside out, then I work on the technical methods of body alignment
and form. I try to strike a universal chord with my characterizations
and I try, most of all, to dance with integrity, and to use dance as a
kind of catharsis to express joy, sorrow, uncertainty. The body has a
knowledge all its own, and I try to use that knowledge in an intelligent
manner, combining physicality and spirituality.”

“Gillis surpassed
herself, making visual music of the stream-of-consciousness.”

“The Gillis of today, mature and seasoned,
is more than a dancer. She has become,as Duncan did before, a living
embodiment of spiritual values.”
