Peggy Baker is a Canadian dance artist who believes wholeheartedly in the beauty of the dancing body. This body celebrating its aliveness in the here and now. Originally from Edmonton, Peggy has built a powerful international presence, and yet, her performances are defined by her simple honesty, her humble nature and her beauty.
this identity: woven danced by Derek Souvannavong.
SINCE THEN is danced byJacquline Ethier and Sarah Hopkin, two dancers from the Ottawa dance community who offer the audience a sublime ( YES! SUBLIME!) interpretation of Peggy's choreography which beautifully and tenderly explores the here and now through each individual's eye.
UNMOORED brings us Peggy's phenomenal skills as a powerful dancing woman, a woman with stories to tell, a woman who eagerly gives of herself. Choreographed by Sarah Chase, UNMOORED is a work that offers us the experience of celebrating every aspect of life as experienced through the heart of Peggy Baker.
