Overview
Free Flow Dance Theatre presents a screening of Terrill Maguires documentary dance film about her featured work Blood Songs.
Join us at 7pm for the screening followed by a talkback with the artist.
Terrill's long-standing project, “Bloodsongs,” is a dance/music collaboration for 10 performers. Drawing inspiration from Middle Eastern music and dance of both Islamic and Jewish origins, “Bloodsongs” represents themes of love, community, and reconciliation. It was presented in November 2018, by the Aga Khan Museum, at Rosedale Heights School of the Arts, and Heliconian Hall, where she was the 2018-2019 Artist-in residence; in Toronto.
“Bloodsongs” is now a documentary/performance film created by Christopher Sumpton, through the Canada Council’s “Digital Originals” program.
Recently, Maguire and her collective colleagues Julia Aplin, John Gzowski, and David Langer were recipients of a NAC CanadaPerforms commission, for their site-specific, live-stream, forest-based work, “Grove.”
Terrill will be creating a new women’s-based work in a similar flavour for Free Flow Dance Theatre while participating in our outreach program.
This is a live and in-person event at the Free Flow Dance Centre. Please note that the facility requires proof of vaccination and that face masks will be worn when possible for our group activities such as this.
Please choose your own admission price as suitable to your current financial status.
