DANCE DOUBLE BILL Fortress (Canada) Rebecca Margolick and Livona Ellis About Time (Israel/Canada) Ne.Sans Opera & Dance, Idan Cohen November 8 & 9 | 7pm Scotiabank Dance Centre
Chutzpah! presents two dance World Premieres, with the support of its community partner, The Dance Centre. In Fortress , the debut collaborative piece by Chutzpah! resident artists and festival favourites Rebecca Margolick and Livona Ellis , the artists explore their connection to their ever-evolving relationship to femininity, and the balance between their strength and vulnerability. Seeking both discomfort and safety, they draw inspiration from the matriarchs in their lives, building toward a deeper understanding of themselves. Ellis is well known for her work with Ballet BC and Kidd Pivot, and is a respected choreographer, performer, and dance educator in Vancouver. BC-born and -raised Margolick lived in NYC for 15 years, but has recently returned to Vancouver. In addition to dancing with companies such as Sidra Bell Dance NY and Andrea Peña & Artists, Rebecca’s choreographic works and solos have been presented in Canada, the U.S., and internationally.
