Dance Double Bill


Fortress & Ne. Sans Opera & Dance

Chutzpah! presents two dance World Premieres, created by its artists in residence, with the support of its community partner, the Dance Centre.

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.

\About Time continues Ne. Sans Opera & Dance’s Artistic Director Idan Cohen’s journey through Philip Glass’ solo piano etudes, performed live by award-winning pianist Leslie Dala, featuring dancers Will Jessup and Benjamin DeFaria. Glass’ music captures an abstraction sense of time, telling a story without words through his minimalistic, crystalline rhythms— timeless yet strikingly relevant.

About Time poses poignant questions: How do we confront time? Can we stop it? Rush ahead? Or is it ever possible to reverse it?

Chutzpah! Festival programming of Israeli artists is supported by the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver and the Ronald S Roadburg Foundation.

This dance program is dedicated to Lisa Nemetz through the generosity of the Snider Foundation and this show is sponsored by Emet Davis.


Note: For our friends observing Shabbat, we recommend attending the performance of the Dance Double Bill on Saturday, November 9, and the performance of Last Night at the Cabaret Yitish on Sunday, November 10.
