Margie Gillis Dance Foundation
“Oh bless thee continuous stutter of the word being made into flesh” – Leonard Cohen
Inspired by these words – the Margie Gillis Dance Foundation, established in 1981, explores the human condition through a unique choreographic language. Margie Gillis draws on the richness of nature and the depth of human beings to celebrate both our vulnerabilities and our hopes. Her dance is a continuous exploration of transformation, revealing the beauty hidden in fragilities and the creative power of the body in movement.
