Free, register in advance via MindBody below

Choreographer/Dancer/Movement Educator Terrill Maguire, from Toronto, Canada. She will be at Dance House on Wednesday, May 28, from 3-5 p.m. for a “meet and greet,” information-sharing/conversation session.

Maguire will be in residence at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre for a creation residency prior to her visit to Dance House. She is interested in learning more about all things dance in Ireland, and, at looking at the ways mutual challenges are dealt with. The possibility of exchanges between our two countries is another area  of discussion:  Toronto especially has deep Irish connections, with a history of extensive immigration dating most extensively from the Famine time.”
