The Toronto Star

Mimi Beck never intended to become a dancer, but it would be hard to imagine the Toronto dance scene without her. She is what the French call an animatrice, someone who makes things happen. What she primarily makes happen is DanceWorks, Toronto’s longest-running dance series and the one that has done most over the years to promote the risk-taking work of independent choreographers. … For her, it is enough to discover the work and give it a showcase.

DanceWorks is this city's most unpredictable dance series…if there was ever a dance series unfettered by obedience to tradition, DanceWorks has to be it.
