Discover and explore Ontario's rich artistic heritage and achievements in dance.
Local Heroes is edited by Carol Anderson
Local Heroes celebrates a century of Ontario's dance legacy. DUO'S website spotlights certain artists who have pointed the way toward the extraordinary flowering of dance in this province during the last one hundred years.
Not meant to be exhaustive, it does not attempt, for space reasons, to detail all of the significant artists and wide-ranging achievements of Ontario dance artists, but to highlight the richness of dance through the activity of artists engaged with varied kinds of dance activity. The huge scope of professional, community - based and culture-specific dance is only hinted at through these articles.
Local Heroes is meant to identify, inform, and hopefully, to provoke further investigation into the sweep of cultural change and identify which is woven into the tapestry of dance in Ontario over the last century. Much remains to discover.
Project Support for Local Heroes has been provided, in part, by the New Ontario Trillium Foundation.
