Behind the Scenes with Mairéad Filgate

Interviewer Anisa Tejpar goes behind the scenes with Throwdown Collective’s Mairéad Filgate

Mairéad Filgate is a contemporary dance artist dividing her time between Toronto and Montreal. A graduate of the School of Toronto Dance Theatre, she has performed throughout Canada and abroad. Mairéad received a B.A. in Women & Gender Studies and Sociology from U of T, and served as the Chair for the Board of Directors of CADA from 2016 to 2018.

DanceWorks kicks-off the new year with the world premiere of Liminal created and performed by Throwdown Collective dance artists Zhenya Cerneacov, Mairéad Filgate and Brodie Stevenson. Liminal examines time and perception with theatrical imagery and dynamic physicality. Using a continuously revolving floor to alter audience perspectives, Liminal explores the nature of change and what it means to evolve over time.

WHEN: February 1 – 4 at 8pm Franco Boni Theatre, The Theatre Centre

    THANK YOU TO OUR FUNDERS, SPONSORS & DONORS

    Donors are the heart of our season.

    We acknowledge the Toronto/Tkaronto as One Dish One Spoon Indigenous territory. We honour the ancestral caretakers of this land: the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat and most recently the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation who have a Treaty relationship with Canada. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work in their community, on this territory. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future.
