Evolutions

“The Legacy Project is magnificent, by its values as much as by its gesture; Gillis’ disciples are excellent, and this occasion will surely propel them towards greater dance.”
– Catherine Lalonde, Le Devoir
Evolutions offers a new tour concept: a transcendental and transformative adventure for audiences, with the fluidity and distinctiveness associated with Margie Gillis. In each show, Margie will be accompanied by nine Legacy Project dancers. Audiences will be offered an entirely singular experience, depending on the composition of the group performing. Spectators will be transported through a selection of works from Margie’s prolific repertoire, both in solos and group dances, interpreted acknowledging the individuality of each dancer’s experience. Every show will include new choreographies and a Margie Gillis solo performance.
